It handles the full complexity of Terraform configuration parsing, including variable interpolation, function evaluation, and expression resolution\u2014going beyond what a standard HCL parser can do. The library exposes a high-level Python interface to load and inspect parsed Terraform modules as dictionaries.\n\nThe package is built on cffi bindings to Go code and ships precompiled wheels for common platforms. It is intended for developers who need to programmatically analyze or process Terraform configurations in Python, such as linting tools, policy engines, or infrastructure scanning utilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to parse and evaluate Terraform configurations in Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive license. Install friction is moderate due to compiled extensions, but prebuilt wheels cover common platforms. Note the Windows memory management caveat if that is a deployment target."},"id":"tfparse","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tfparse","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tfparse.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/tfparse/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"tfparse","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python HCL/Terraform parser via extension for AquaSecurity defsec"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":156620,"position":10780,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.20"}
