# esdk-obs-python — OBS Python SDK

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 122.5K/mo

## What it is and what it does

esdk-obs-python is Huawei's official Python SDK for OBS (Object Storage Service), a cloud object storage platform. It provides a client library to authenticate, manage buckets, upload and download objects, and perform other storage operations programmatically from Python applications.

The package is actively maintained with a recent release and has been in development since 2019. It carries no external runtime dependencies, meaning the entire SDK is self-contained, though this also suggests high install friction—likely from a large or compiled distribution. The package is permissively licensed under Apache-2.0 and sees adoption in the top tier on PyPI. No known security vulnerabilities are recorded.

Use it for:

- Upload and download files to and from Huawei OBS buckets in Python applications
- Automate bulk object operations (list, delete, copy) across OBS storage
- Integrate OBS storage into data processing or machine learning pipelines
- Build backup or archival workflows using OBS as a cloud destination
- Manage object metadata and access control programmatically

## Worth the install?

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

Python SDK for interacting with Huawei OBS (Object Storage Service), providing programmatic access to cloud object storage operations.

Yes, if you are working with Huawei OBS. The package is actively maintained, permissively licensed, and has no known vulnerabilities. The high install friction is a practical concern—investigate whether the distribution size or compilation requirements fit your deployment constraints before committing. Python version support is undocumented, so verify compatibility with your target environment.

## Install

pip install esdk-obs-python
uv add esdk-obs-python
poetry add esdk-obs-python

## Installing esdk-obs-python

Before you install: High install friction reported; package is actively maintained with a recent release, but no runtime dependencies means all functionality is self-contained, which may indicate a monolithic or compiled distribution.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive), allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; suitable for most projects.

Quickstart:

pip install esdk-obs-python

import obs

# Create OBS client and authenticate
client = obs.ObsClient(
    access_key_id='your_access_key',
    secret_access_key='your_secret_key',
    server='https://your-obs-endpoint'
)

# List buckets
resp = client.listBuckets()
print(resp.body.buckets)

Requires valid Huawei OBS credentials (access key and secret key) and network connectivity to a Huawei OBS endpoint; Python version support is unspecified in package metadata.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package supports modern Python versions or has legacy constraints
- Exact nature of high install friction: whether it involves compiled extensions, large downloads, or system dependencies
- API stability and backward compatibility guarantees across major versions
- Total monthly download count and what it represents for adoption patterns
