PyWavelets / pywt
PyWavelets - Wavelet Transforms in Python
PyWavelets/pywt holds a health index of 86 out of 100, placing it in the Excellent band. It scores highest on Engineering Quality (92/100) and lowest on AI Readiness (41/100). It was last updated 20 days ago. 2 contributors account for most of its recent work.
Software health index
Metrics are grouped into weighted categories on one standardized 1–100 scale. Overall starts as their weighted mean, calibrated against the distribution of the public record so bands carry percentile meaning; when public evidence triggers the High-Risk Jurisdiction Policy, the rating is adjusted and receives an At Risk ceiling of 34.
Score profile
Each axis is a category. The shape matters more than the average — a healthy subject fills the whole shape, while a spike-and-crater profile means strength in one dimension is masking risk in another.
The weighted overall 72 is calibrated to 86 on the published index scale (record calibration 2026-08-02).
Ownership
This repository is backed by an organization — shared, accountable stewardship that can outlive any single maintainer.

Dependency advisories 0
Installing pypi:PyWavelets@1.9.0 pulls in 1 packages, direct and transitive: 0 carry known advisories, of which 0 are direct dependencies.
No known advisories affect the assessed dependencies.
An advisory means the version recorded in the dependency graph falls inside an advisory’s affected range. Reachability is not analysed, and the graph includes development and test pins — a finding may concern tooling rather than shipped software.
