It provides both a programmatic Python API (the manilaclient module) and a command-line interface (manila command) that expose the full OpenStack Manila API for managing file shares, snapshots, and related resources.\n\nThe package is built on top of OpenStack's standard libraries (oslo.config, oslo.log, keystoneauth1) and integrates with the OpenStack CLI framework via osc-lib. It requires Python 3.10 or later and is actively maintained as part of the OpenStack project. Typical use cases include automating share provisioning, querying share metadata, managing access rules, and integrating Manila operations into larger infrastructure-as-code workflows.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are working with OpenStack Manila. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no licensing restrictions, and implements the complete Manila API. Install it when you need to automate or script interactions with OpenStack shared file system storage, either through the CLI or Python API."},"id":"python-manilaclient","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-manilaclient","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-manilaclient.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-manilaclient/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-manilaclient","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Client library for OpenStack Shared File System Storage"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":217009,"position":9368,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.2.0"}
