Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. The package is abandoned (last release January 2022, no recent commits), and its SSPLv1 license has unclear treatment that may conflict with proprietary or cloud deployments. Unless you are maintaining legacy code already using curatorbin, prefer installing Curator directly as a standalone tool or using a maintained MongoDB management library.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low install friction (pure Python wheel), but the package is abandoned—last release was 2022-01-28 and the repository shows no recent activity.
- Maintenance status is a significant concern for long-term use.

What it is and what it does
Curatorbin wraps the MongoDB Curator tool—a utility for managing MongoDB index lifecycle—as a Python package. Instead of installing Curator as a standalone binary, you install curatorbin via pip and call Curator functions directly from Python code using `run_curator()` or retrieve the binary path with `get_curator_path()`. The package bundles Curator as package data, so the wheel is relatively large but requires no external system dependencies.
The package is designed for teams that want to automate Curator operations within Python workflows, particularly in CI/CD pipelines or monitoring scripts. However, it is no longer maintained—the last release was in January 2022 and the repository shows no recent commits. The license (SSPLv1) is also unclear in treatment, which may restrict use in certain deployment contexts.
Use it for
- Automate MongoDB index management in Python-based CI/CD pipelines without installing Curator separately.
- Invoke Curator operations programmatically from monitoring or maintenance scripts.
- Bundle Curator functionality into larger Python applications that manage MongoDB infrastructure.
- Retrieve the Curator binary path for integration with other tools or workflows.
