STUPS CLI support library
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are actively maintaining existing STUPS tooling. The package is abandoned (last release 2021-05-03, no commits since), has not been tested against Python versions beyond 3.9, and carries unmitigated risk of dependency conflicts or security issues. For new CLI projects, use modern alternatives. For existing STUPS users, plan a migration away from this library.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Package is no longer maintained as of 2021-05-03 and may have unpatched compatibility issues with Python versions beyond those tested.
- Low install friction with four straightforward runtime dependencies.
- However, the package is abandoned—last release was 2021-05-03 with no active maintenance since then.

Alternatives
Verify before relying
pip install stups-cli-support
from stups_cli_support import configure
configure()- Whether the package works reliably with Python versions beyond 3.9 (classifiers list only up to 3.9; no active testing since 2021-05-03).
- Whether all four runtime dependencies (clickclick, PyYAML, dnspython, requests) remain compatible with current versions.
- Whether the STUPS ecosystem this library supports is still in active use or has been superseded.
What it is and what it does
stups-cli-support is a helper library built for the STUPS command-line toolset, originally developed by Zalando. It provides shared utilities for CLI tools, including configuration management via YAML, DNS resolution through dnspython, HTTP requests via requests, and command-line argument parsing through clickclick. The library is designed to reduce duplication across multiple STUPS command-line tools by centralizing common functionality.
The package has been in production-stable status since its first release in 2015-09-08, but is now abandoned—the last commit was 2021-05-03 and there has been no maintenance activity since. It remains available and functional for existing STUPS deployments, but carries the risk of incompatibility with newer Python versions and unpatched dependencies. New projects should not adopt it; existing users should evaluate migration paths.
Use it for
- Extending or maintaining existing STUPS command-line tools that already depend on this library.
- Building additional CLI tools within an active STUPS deployment that need consistent configuration and argument handling.
- Migrating legacy STUPS tooling while preserving compatibility with existing scripts and configurations.
