It sits in the buf code generation pipeline and outputs type-annotated stubs that work with both WSGI and ASGI frameworks on the server side, and provides client implementations on the client side.\n\nDevelopers define their Protobuf schema once, run the generator, and get Python classes ready to subclass for servers or instantiate for clients. The plugin supports the Connect, gRPC, and gRPC-Web protocols, handles streaming natively, and integrates middleware and interceptors. The generated code is compatible with HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building or consuming Connect RPC services in Python. The plugin is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, supports Python 3.10 through 3.14, and eliminates manual code duplication between client and server definitions. Install it as a dev dependency in your buf-based code generation workflow. Not necessary if you are not using Connect or Protobuf."},"id":"protoc-gen-connect-python","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/protoc-gen-connect-python","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/protoc-gen-connect-python.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/protoc-gen-connect-python/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-19","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"protoc-gen-connect-python","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Code generator for connect-python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":255199,"position":8483,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9.0"}
