It lets developers authenticate against Globus, discover endpoints (local or remote), and programmatically manage data transfers and access control. The SDK handles authentication via JWT and cryptography, making it straightforward to integrate Globus into Python applications without building HTTP requests manually.\n\nThe package is production-stable (Development Status 5), maintained actively, and supports a wide range of modern Python versions. It depends on requests for HTTP, pyjwt and cryptography for authentication, and typing_extensions for type hints. It's commonly used in research computing environments where federated identity and secure, auditable data movement are required.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is production-stable, actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. Install it if you need to integrate Globus data transfer or authentication into a Python application. Skip it if you don't use Globus or need only command-line tools."},"id":"globus-sdk","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/globus-sdk","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/globus-sdk.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/globus-sdk/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"globus-sdk","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Globus SDK for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":179513,"position":10170,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.9.0"}
