Rather than launching Blender's GUI, you import bpy and call its API directly from Python scripts, making it suitable for studio pipelines, web services, scientific research, and batch processing workflows.\n\nThe package is version-locked: each Blender release supports exactly one Python version, and bpy 5.2.0 requires Python 3.13. It carries five runtime dependencies (cattrs, cython, numpy, requests, zstandard) and is distributed as platform-specific wheels for macOS ARM64, Linux x86_64, and Windows (both AMD64 and ARM64). Older Blender versions outside the current LTS window are available from a separate PyPI index but are no longer on the main PyPI repository.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need Blender's 3D capabilities in a Python workflow and can commit to Python 3.13 and accept the GPL-3.0 copyleft license. The active maintenance, zero known vulnerabilities, and broad platform support make it reliable for production pipelines. No, if you require a different Python version, need proprietary licensing flexibility, or want a lighter-weight 3D library\u2014the GPL-3.0 copyleft and strict Python version requirement are hard constraints."},"id":"bpy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/bpy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/bpy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/bpy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"bpy","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Blender as a Python module"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":215320,"position":9403,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"5.2.0"}
