Project: trove-classifiers

Canonical source for classifiers on PyPI.

Classifiers categorize projects per PEP 301. Use this package to validate classifiers in packages for PyPI upload or download.

$ pip install trove-classifiers

This package can be invoked as a module to print a list of classifiers:

$ python -m trove_classifiers | grep -Ei pyramid
Framework :: Pyramid

In addition, this package's API is two importable objects:

Classifiers (trove_classifiers.classifiers)

A set containing classifiers (as strings). Useful for determining membership.

Example - determine if a classifier is valid:

>>> from trove_classifiers import classifiers
>>> 'License :: OSI Approved' in classifiers
True
>>> 'Fuzzy :: Wuzzy :: Was :: A :: Bear' in classifiers
False
>>>

Deprecated classifiers (trove_classifiers.deprecated_classifiers)

A dict, mapping a deprecated classifier (string) to a list of classifiers which replaces it (strings).

Example - determine if a classifier is deprecated:

>>> from trove_classifiers import deprecated_classifiers
>>> 'License :: OSI Approved' in deprecated_classifiers
False
>>> 'Natural Language :: Ukranian' in deprecated_classifiers
True
>>> deprecated_classifiers["Natural Language :: Ukranian"]
['Natural Language :: Ukrainian']
