It provides APIs for key-value operations, N1QL queries, full-text search, and analytics, with support for both synchronous and asynchronous patterns. The library is built on top of libcouchbase and requires a C++17 compiler and OpenSSL for compilation from source, though prebuilt wheels are available for Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12 on Windows, macOS, and Linux.\n\nThe package has been in active development since its first release and is currently in production-stable status. It depends only on typing-extensions for runtime and is actively maintained, with the latest release 57 days old. The library supports Python 3.7 and later, though wheels are provided for more recent versions. Installation typically requires system-level dependencies (compiler, CMake, OpenSSL) unless a prebuilt wheel is available for your platform.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. Install if you are already committed to Couchbase Server as your database and need a stable, officially-supported Python client. The permissive Apache License 2.0 and active maintenance are strong positives. However, be aware of one known vulnerability (PYSEC-2023-235) that needs verification for this release, and plan for medium install friction on platforms without prebuilt wheels. Not suitable if you need to avoid compiled C++ dependencies or are evaluating database options."},"id":"couchbase","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/couchbase","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/couchbase.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/couchbase/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"couchbase","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python Client for Couchbase"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":859822,"position":4876,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":1},"version":"4.6.2"}
