It provides both a Python API module for programmatic access and a command-line tool (swift) for interactive management of containers and objects in a Swift cluster. The library wraps HTTP requests to the Swift API, handling authentication, connection pooling, and common operations like uploading, downloading, and listing objects.\n\nThe package is lightweight, depending only on requests for HTTP communication. It's designed for operators and developers working with OpenStack deployments or compatible object storage systems. The library supports modern Python versions (3.7 through 3.14) and is actively maintained as part of the OpenStack project, following standard OpenStack development and release processes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are working with OpenStack Swift or a compatible object storage system. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and is the standard choice for Python-based Swift interaction. No known vulnerabilities. Install only if you have a Swift endpoint to connect to."},"id":"python-swiftclient","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-swiftclient","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-swiftclient.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-swiftclient/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-02-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-swiftclient","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenStack Object Storage API Client Library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":634874,"position":5641,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.10.0"}
