As reasonable as it may be for those features to be bundled +with Click instead of being a standalone project, many of those requested +features are either highly experimental or have unproven practical use, while +potentially being a burden to maintain. + +This is why click-contrib_ exists. The GitHub organization is a collection of +possibly experimental third-party packages whose featureset does not belong +into Click, but also a playground for major features that may be added to Click +in the future. It is also meant to coordinate and concentrate effort on writing +third-party extensions for Click, and to ease the effort of searching for such +extensions. In that sense it could be described as a low-maintenance +alternative to extension repositories of other frameworks. + +Please note that the quality and stability of those packages may be different +than what you expect from Click itself. While published under a common +organization, they are still projects separate from Click. + +.. _click-contrib: https://github.com/click-contrib/ |
