Releasing dbt-common

To release a new version of dbt-common to pypi, you'll need to: 1. Run the release workflow to bump the version, generate changelogs and release to pypi 4. Bump the version of dbt-common in dbt-core and dbt-adapters if you're releasing a new major version or a pre-release: * dbt-core: setup.py * dbt-adapters: pyproject.toml * Adapter Implementations: * dbt-postgres: pyproject.toml * dbt-snowflake: setup.py * dbt-bigquery: setup.py * dbt-redshift: setup.py * dbt-spark: setup.py

AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Provides shared utilities and common functionality for dbt-core and dbt adapter implementations, including data handling, serialization, and configuration tools.

Low friction install with a pure-wheel distribution. Active maintenance with a release just 2 days ago and recent commits through August 2026 indicate ongoing development.

Apache-2.0 permissive license allows commercial and private use with minimal restrictions, making it suitable for most projects.

Usage

pip install dbt-common==1.39.0

import dbt_common
# Access shared utilities used by dbt-core and adapters

Requires Python 3.10 or later; dbt-common is primarily intended as a dependency for dbt-core and adapter packages rather than direct end-user use.

Verdict: dbt-common is an actively maintained foundational library for the dbt ecosystem with no known vulnerabilities and permissive licensing. Its 14 runtime dependencies are well-established data and serialization libraries. Primary use is as a transitive dependency for dbt-core and adapters; direct installation is uncommon.
