uc-micro-py

library2.0.0pypypiunverified

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.

Install & Compatibility

Where this runs

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

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.

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 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.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaThis 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.

affects: All versions

gotchaThe 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.

affects: All versions

breakingThe package `uc-micro-py` was not found in the Python environment. This typically means it was not installed via pip or is not available in the Python path.

fix

Ensure `uc-micro-py` is correctly installed in your environment using `pip install uc-micro-py`.

affects: All versions

breakingThe `uc-micro-py` package was not found in the Python environment, leading to a `ModuleNotFoundError`. This typically means the package was not installed or is not accessible in the current Python path.

fix

Ensure `uc-micro-py` is installed in the environment where the script is being run, for example, by adding `pip install uc-micro-py` to your setup process. Verify that the correct Python environment is activated.

affects: All versions

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'uc_micro'

The `uc-micro-py` package has not been installed in the current Python environment.

fix

pip install uc-micro-py

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'uc-micro-py'

The user attempted to import the package using its PyPI distribution name (`uc-micro-py`) instead of its actual Python module name (`uc_micro`).

fix

from uc_micro import get_categories

AttributeError: module 'uc_micro' has no attribute 'get_category'

The user attempted to access a non-existent attribute or function; the correct function name to retrieve categories is `get_categories` (plural).

fix

from uc_micro import get_categories

# Call the function
categories = get_categories()
