# daytona_sdk — Deprecated: please migrate to the 'daytona' package. This alias is being phased out.

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 898.4K/mo

## What it is and what it does

daytona_sdk is a deprecated package maintained as a temporary compatibility layer. It currently ships identical code to its successor but is being phased out. The package depends on 24 runtime dependencies including aiohttp, httpx, pydantic, opentelemetry modules, and various API client packages, indicating SDK functionality for service integration.

The package is actively maintained only to keep existing installations working during a transition period. The deprecation is explicit in its metadata (Development Status :: 7 - Inactive) and published description, which directs users to migrate by changing their import statements. No new development occurs on this package.

Use it for:

- Maintaining existing code that imports daytona_sdk while planning a migration
- Temporary compatibility layer for legacy projects unable to immediately update imports
- Understanding deprecation patterns when auditing or inheriting older Python projects

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

A deprecated alias package that ships identical code to its successor; maintained only for backward compatibility during a transition period.

No. This package is explicitly deprecated and marked inactive. It exists only as a temporary compatibility shim and will eventually be discontinued. Install the successor package instead and update your imports. There is no reason to choose this package for new code or new installations.

## Install

pip install daytona-sdk
uv add daytona-sdk
poetry add daytona-sdk

## Installing daytona_sdk

Before you install: Low install friction, but marked Development Status :: 7 - Inactive and explicitly deprecated. Receives updates only during a transition period; all active development has moved elsewhere.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive), so no licensing restrictions on use or distribution.

Quickstart:

pip install daytona_sdk
import daytona_sdk

Requires Python 3.10 or later (supports 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14). Package is deprecated; migration is recommended.

Verify before relying:

- What specific functionality the package provides beyond being a compatibility alias
- Timeline for when daytona_sdk will stop receiving updates or be discontinued
- Whether behavioral differences exist between daytona_sdk and its successor despite identical code
