timemachines ⚠️ DEPRECATED

timemachines is deprecated and has been replaced by skaters.

skaters is a faster, lighter univariate forecasting package that runs in Pyodide. It completely supersedes timemachines.

skating

Migrate

bash
pip install skaters

python
from skaters import laplace

Compatibility shim

For now, timemachines is just a thin shim over skaters. It re-exports laplace so existing imports keep working, and emits a DeprecationWarning:

python
from timemachines import laplace   # still works, but please switch to skaters

Everything else that used to live in timemachines (the skaters/skatertools subpackages, the per-package model adapters, evaluation tooling, etc.) has been removed. If you depend on any of it, pin an old release (timemachines<0.21) or, better, move to skaters.
