+__ARCHIVE NOTICE: This repository is no longer being maintained. The original purpose of this package was to enable dask with the extended nested-pandas API, with the specific aim of using this to support the [LSDB](https://github.com/astronomy-commons/lsdb) project. In April 2025, the contents of this package were [migrated directly into LSDB](https://github.com/astronomy-commons/lsdb/pull/713) to allow for tailored behavior to LSDB's specific operational needs. As a result, any needed changes to dask-compatibility for nested-pandas are happening directly within LSDB and not in this repository. Further, maintaining a generalized dask layer for nested-pandas is not directly within the critical path for LINCC-Frameworks effort at this time. If you found your way here and wished there was a maintained package that provided a dask-layer for nested-pandas for something you are working on, please feel free to voice that as an issue filed to [nested-pandas](https://github.com/lincc-frameworks/nested-pandas/issues).__

 A [dask](https://www.dask.org/) extension of
