It fetches flag definitions from a Flipt server once at startup, then performs all subsequent flag evaluations locally within the SDK\u2014meaning your application can evaluate flags even if the Flipt server becomes temporarily unreachable. The client supports two data-fetch modes: polling (checking for updates at a configurable interval, defaulting to 120 seconds) and streaming (for Flipt Cloud and Flipt v2, receiving real-time flag changes over a persistent connection). It handles transient network failures automatically with exponential backoff retries.\n\nThe package depends on pydantic for response models and packaging for version handling. It supports Linux, macOS, and Windows across x86_64 and arm64 architectures. The client requires Python 3.11 or later and offers flexible authentication (none, client token, or JWT), TLS configuration for custom certificates and mutual TLS, and an error strategy choice between failing fast or falling back to a snapshot. All responses are strongly typed Pydantic models, and errors inherit from a common FliptError base class.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and offers low install friction with only two lightweight dependencies. It solves a real problem\u2014local flag evaluation with fallback resilience\u2014and is well-suited for production use if you are already running Flipt. Install it if your application needs feature flags with offline evaluation capability or reduced latency per flag check."},"id":"flipt-client","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flipt-client","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flipt-client.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flipt-client/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"flipt-client","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Flipt Client Evaluation SDK"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":157570,"position":10751,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.4.3"}
