Instead of shelling out to `helm` commands manually, you instantiate a Client object (pointing to your kubeconfig and context) and call methods to list, install, upgrade, or uninstall releases. It handles chart fetching from repositories, revision tracking, and status inspection, all through an async-friendly API.\n\nThe library is built on pydantic for data validation, pyyaml for configuration parsing, and semver for version handling. It's designed for automation workflows\u2014CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code tools, or Kubernetes operators\u2014where you need programmatic control over Helm deployments without spawning shell processes directly.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to manage Helm releases from Python code. The library has low install friction, active maintenance, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. The main prerequisite is having Helm 3+ installed on your system and Python 3.10+. It's well-suited for automation and infrastructure tooling."},"id":"pyhelm3","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyhelm3","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyhelm3.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyhelm3/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-03","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyhelm3","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python library for managing Helm releases using Helm 3 and later (i.e. Tiller-less Helm)."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":162479,"position":10600,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.4"}
