It abstracts connection pooling, routing, and session management, allowing developers to focus on query logic rather than protocol details.\n\nThe driver supports both synchronous and asynchronous workflows, with a single runtime dependency (pytz) and no compiled dependencies in the base install. It is actively maintained, supports Python 3.10 through 3.14, and carries no known security vulnerabilities. Optional Rust extensions can be installed separately for performance optimization, but the pure Python version is suitable for most use cases.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is the official, actively maintained driver for Neo4j in Python, with low install friction, permissive licensing, no known vulnerabilities, and broad Python version support. Install it if you need to connect to a Neo4j database; it is the standard choice for that task."},"id":"neo4j","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/neo4j","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/neo4j.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/neo4j/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-04","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0 AND Python-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"neo4j","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Neo4j Bolt driver for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":14903559,"position":1211,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.2.0"}
