uc.micro-py

2.0.0 · active · verified Sun Mar 29

uc-micro-py is a Python port of uc.micro, providing a micro subset of Unicode data files. This library is specifically designed to meet the needs of `linkify-it-py` projects. As of version 2.0.0, released in February 2026, it is actively maintained, though its release cadence appears to be infrequent, driven by updates to Unicode data or `linkify-it-py` requirements.

Warnings

breaking Version 2.0.0 of `uc-micro-py` raised the minimum required Python version to 3.10. Projects on older Python versions (e.g., Python 3.9 and below) will encounter compatibility issues.
Fix: Upgrade your Python environment to version 3.10 or newer to use uc-micro-py v2.0.0 and subsequent releases.
gotcha This package is explicitly stated to contain content 'ONLY for linkify-it-py projects needs.' It is not intended for standalone use or to expose a public API for direct application-level functionality beyond providing Unicode data to its primary consumer.
Fix: Do not attempt to use `uc-micro-py` directly for general Unicode parsing or linking. If you need linkification, use `linkify-it-py` which correctly leverages this library internally.
gotcha The project has an infrequent release cadence (e.g., a two-year gap between v1.0.3 and v2.0.0). While `v2.0.0` is recent, users should not expect frequent updates or rapid feature additions beyond maintaining Unicode data compatibility for `linkify-it-py`.
Fix: Factor in the infrequent update schedule when planning dependencies. This library is stable for its intended purpose but may not see active development of new, independent features.

Install

pip install uc-micro-py PyPI

Quickstart

uc-micro-py is designed as an internal dependency, primarily for `linkify-it-py`. There is no direct, user-facing API for this library beyond importing it to confirm its presence. This quickstart demonstrates a basic import and version check.

import uc_micro_py
print(f"uc-micro-py version: {uc_micro_py.__version__}")
# Note: This library primarily serves as an internal dependency for linkify-it-py
# and does not expose a public API for direct feature usage.
