bagit-profile
This module can be used to validate BagitProfiles.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. The package is abandoned (last release 2020-03-24, no commits since) and classifiers indicate support only through Python 3.7. While it has low install friction and no known vulnerabilities, the lack of maintenance means it will not adapt to changes in Python, bagit, or the BagIt Profiles Specification. Use only if you are locked into an older Python environment and cannot migrate to an actively maintained alternative.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a valid BagIt bag directory and a reachable profile URI; bagit package must be installed separately.
- Low install friction with a pure Python wheel.
- However, the package is abandoned—last release was 2020-03-24 and no commits since.

What it is and what it does
bagit-profile is a Python module for validating BagIt bags against profile specifications. It works alongside the bagit library to check whether a bag conforms to a given BagIt profile, including validation of serialization format and structural requirements defined in the profile.
The package provides both a Python API and a command-line interface. You instantiate a profile from a URI, then call validate methods to check serialization constraints and overall profile compliance. It is designed for use in digital preservation workflows where BagIt is used as a container format and profiles enforce specific requirements.
Use it for
- Validate digital preservation bags against institutional or domain-specific BagIt profiles before ingest
- Enforce serialization requirements (e.g., tar, zip) in automated bag processing pipelines
- Check structural compliance of bags in archival workflows without extending the bagit library itself
- Integrate profile validation into preservation system quality assurance steps

Install
bagit-profile on PyPI
Before you install
Low install friction with a pure Python wheel. However, the package is abandoned—last release was 2020-03-24 and no commits since. Depends on bagit and requests, both stable libraries, but expect no maintenance or updates.
Requires a valid BagIt bag directory and a reachable profile URI; bagit package must be installed separately.

Quickstart
pip install bagit-profile
import bagit

bag = bagit.Bag('mydir')
profile = bagit_profile.Profile('http://example.com/bagitprofile.json')
