It provides networking APIs to communicate with Horizon (Stellar's data API) and Stellar RPC servers, along with tools for constructing, signing, and submitting transactions. The package handles account management, transaction building with various operations (payments, trades, etc.), and network history queries.\n\nThe library is designed for developers building Stellar apps in Python and supports modern Python versions (3.10+) and PyPy 3.11. It depends on established packages like pydantic for validation, pynacl for cryptographic signing, requests for HTTP communication, and xdrlib3 for Stellar's data serialization format. Optional async support and Shamir backup functionality are available through extras.","worth_installing":"Yes. Stellar SDK is actively maintained (last commit 2026-07-27), has no known vulnerabilities, and provides a complete, well-documented interface to the Stellar blockchain. Low install friction, permissive licensing, and broad Python version support make it a solid choice for any Stellar-based Python project. Install with confidence if you need to interact with Stellar."},"id":"stellar-sdk","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/stellar-sdk","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/stellar-sdk.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/stellar-sdk/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-04","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"stellar-sdk","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The Python Stellar SDK library provides APIs to build transactions and connect to Horizon and Stellar RPC server."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":179787,"position":10162,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"15.0.0"}
