It supports both SAP HANA Cloud (port 443 with automatic encryption) and on-premise deployments (port 3NN13/3NN15), and provides cursor-based query execution with parameterized statement binding (both positional and named parameters). The driver is distributed as compiled wheels for multiple platforms and architectures, with no additional runtime dependencies beyond Python itself.\n\nThe package is production-stable and actively maintained, with support for modern Python versions. A key deviation from PEP 249 is that autocommit is enabled by default rather than disabled, which may affect transaction handling expectations. It is licensed under SAP's proprietary Developer License Agreement, making it suitable for development and evaluation but requiring explicit license review for production or commercial use.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to connect Python to SAP HANA and accept the proprietary license terms. The driver is stable, actively maintained, and has no external dependencies. However, verify license compliance for your use case (development vs. production) before committing to production deployments, and confirm Python version compatibility with your environment."},"id":"hdbcli","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hdbcli","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hdbcli.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/hdbcli/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"hdbcli","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"SAP HANA Python Client"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3322513,"position":2660,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.29.25"}
