Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (20190517) SDK Library for Python
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are already using Alibaba Cloud services or have a requirement to integrate with Alibaba Cloud OSS. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and is part of an official vendor SDK. If you do not use Alibaba Cloud or need a multi-cloud storage abstraction, this is not the right choice.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >= 3.6; you will need Alibaba Cloud credentials (access key ID and secret) to authenticate with the OSS service.
- Low install friction with a pure-wheel distribution.
- The package is actively maintained as of 2026-08-14 with 5 runtime dependencies all from the Alibaba Cloud ecosystem, suggesting a cohesive, vendor-supported stack.

What it is and what it does
This is the official Python SDK for Alibaba Cloud's Object Storage Service, generated from the 20190517 API specification. It wraps Alibaba's cloud storage API into a Python client library, allowing developers to programmatically upload, download, list, and manage objects stored in Alibaba Cloud OSS buckets. The package depends on a stack of Alibaba Cloud utility and gateway libraries (alibabacloud-tea-util, alibabacloud-gateway-spi, alibabacloud-gateway-oss, alibabacloud-tea-openapi, and alibabacloud-openapi-util) that handle authentication, request routing, and protocol translation.
The package is maintained by Alibaba Cloud and supports Python 3.6 through 3.9. It is actively maintained, with the repository last updated on 2026-08-14. The low install friction and vendor-backed dependency chain make it straightforward to add to a project that already uses Alibaba Cloud services, though it is most useful for teams already committed to the Alibaba Cloud ecosystem.
Use it for
- Upload and manage files in Alibaba Cloud OSS from a Python application without writing raw HTTP requests.
- Integrate cloud storage operations into data processing or ETL pipelines running on Alibaba Cloud infrastructure.
- Build backup or archival systems that store objects in Alibaba Cloud OSS programmatically.
- Serve as the storage backend for a web application or API hosted on Alibaba Cloud.
- Automate bulk object operations (list, copy, delete) across OSS buckets using Python scripts.
