It integrates with the broader OpenStack ecosystem, allowing operators and administrators to create, configure, and monitor load balancing resources from the CLI rather than through the OpenStack dashboard or direct API calls.\n\nThe package is designed specifically for CLI use; the documentation explicitly recommends using openstacksdk for programmatic Python access instead. It depends on keystoneauth1 for authentication, osc-lib for CLI framework integration, and several oslo libraries for serialization and utilities. It requires Python 3.10 or later and is actively maintained by the OpenStack community.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you manage OpenStack infrastructure and need CLI access to Octavia load balancing. The package has low install friction, active maintenance, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. It is a standard tool for OpenStack operators. Install only if you have python-openstackclient already set up and valid OpenStack credentials configured."},"id":"python-octaviaclient","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-octaviaclient","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-octaviaclient.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-octaviaclient/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-octaviaclient","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Octavia client for OpenStack Load Balancing"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":145275,"position":11130,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.14.0"}
