It abstracts the job-batch workflow (create job, add batches, close, poll for completion) into a simple client interface, supporting query, queryAll, insert, update, and delete operations in both JSON and CSV formats.\n\nThe library handles authentication via password-based login or session ID, streams data efficiently through the post_batch method to avoid memory overhead on large datasets, and provides utilities like CsvDictsAdapter to convert Python dictionaries to CSV format. It also supports advanced features such as PK Chunking for querying large record sets and concurrency mode selection (Serial or Parallel).","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package is actively maintained, permissively licensed, and widely downloaded (top 5000 on PyPI), making it a reliable choice for Salesforce bulk operations. However, the high install friction warrants investigation before deployment; verify dependency specifications and Python version support."},"id":"salesforce-bulk","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/salesforce-bulk","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/salesforce-bulk.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/salesforce-bulk/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-11-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"salesforce-bulk","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python interface to the Salesforce.com Bulk API."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3229191,"position":2693,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.0"}
