It exists to reduce duplication and provide a stable, versioned interface for code that multiple Neutron components depend on.\n\nThe library is built on top of Oslo libraries (oslo.config, oslo.db, oslo.policy, etc.) and other OpenStack infrastructure components, and is primarily consumed by Neutron plugins, agents, and related OpenStack networking services. It is not a general-purpose networking library, but rather an internal abstraction layer for the OpenStack Neutron project itself.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing or deploying OpenStack Neutron plugins or related networking services. No, if you are building standalone networking applications outside the OpenStack ecosystem\u2014this library is tightly coupled to OpenStack infrastructure and has no value outside that context."},"id":"neutron-lib","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/neutron-lib","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/neutron-lib.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/neutron-lib/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-13","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"neutron-lib","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Neutron shared routines and utilities"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":161217,"position":10640,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"5.0.0"}
