It translates rclone's CLI operations into Python function calls, letting you perform cloud file operations\u2014copy, move, sync, delete, hash validation, and remote configuration\u2014directly from Python code. The wrapper depends on a system-installed rclone binary; it does not reimplement rclone itself.\n\nThe package is designed for developers who want to integrate rclone's multi-cloud capabilities into Python applications or scripts without shelling out to the CLI. It includes progress-bar integration via rich and supports custom rclone config files. Operations like copying between remotes, listing directory contents, generating file hashes, and managing cloud credentials are all exposed as straightforward Python methods.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you already use rclone and want to automate its operations from Python. The wrapper is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and adds minimal install friction. However, do not install if rclone is not already on your system\u2014the wrapper is useless without it. Verify that the wrapper covers the specific rclone operations you need before committing."},"id":"rclone-python","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rclone-python","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rclone-python.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/rclone-python/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"rclone-python","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A python wrapper for rclone."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":525857,"position":6183,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.25"}
