by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-ofxtools [2]: Unused, abandoned, broken, outdated Python package from 2021 with wrong name. (This is a CLI application.) Better to delete. 0 votes/comments, and no downstream dependents. Users can install the latest version from PyPI. It's a very lightweight setup: the module has no required dependencies apart from Python itself.
