It provides a consistent object-oriented interface for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting communication resources, plus utilities for generating Plivo XML to control call flows and interactive messaging templates.\n\nThe SDK handles authentication via environment variables or explicit credentials, supports both synchronous request patterns and context managers for resource cleanup, and includes pagination helpers for listing resources. It depends on requests for HTTP transport, lxml for XML generation, PyJWT for token handling, and six for Python 2/3 compatibility\u2014though Python 2.7 support is legacy.","worth_installing":"Yes. Plivo is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and is licensed permissively. Install it if you need to integrate Plivo's voice, SMS, or WhatsApp APIs into a Python application. The SDK is production-stable and suitable for commercial use."},"id":"plivo","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/plivo","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/plivo.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/plivo/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"plivo","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A Python SDK to make voice calls & send SMS using Plivo and to generate Plivo XML"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":259708,"position":8407,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.62.0"}
