Before you install
- Requires Python 3.7 or later.
- This is a base package; typical usage involves installing eyes-playwright or another Eyes variant that depends on eyes-common.
- Low install friction with four runtime dependencies (attrs, core-universal4, marshmallow, websocket-client).

What it is and what it does
Eyes-common is the base SDK package for Applitools Eyes, providing shared infrastructure for visual testing in Python. It serves as a common layer that other Eyes SDKs build upon, with dependencies on attrs, marshmallow, websocket-client, and core-universal4 for serialization and communication.
The package supports Python 3.7 and later, runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and has no known security vulnerabilities. It is actively maintained and positioned for use in visual testing workflows, though the fact sheet indicates it is typically installed as a dependency of other Eyes packages rather than used directly.
Use it for
- Base dependency for eyes-playwright or other Eyes SDK variants that perform visual regression testing
- Visual testing infrastructure in CI/CD pipelines for cross-platform browser automation
- Image comparison workflows where visual consistency validation is required
- Shared testing utilities for teams standardizing on Applitools visual testing
