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

Python client library for Google Cloud Workflows, enabling programmatic management of workflow definitions on Google Cloud Platform.

Low friction: pure Python wheel with five standard Google Cloud dependencies (google-api-core, google-auth, grpcio, proto-plus, protobuf). Active maintenance with release 52 days ago; repository shows 5370 stars and current Python 3.10+ support.

Apache-2.0 permissive license allows commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; attribution and license notice required in distributions.

Usage

pip install google-cloud-workflows

from google.cloud.workflows import ExecutionsClient
from google.cloud.workflows_v1 import Execution

client = ExecutionsClient()
execution = client.create_execution(parent="projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/workflows/WORKFLOW_ID", execution=Execution())

Requires Python >= 3.10; Google Cloud credentials must be configured (via GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable or Application Default Credentials).

Verdict: Production-ready Google Cloud client with active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and permissive licensing. Straightforward installation and standard Google Cloud authentication patterns make it suitable for teams already invested in GCP infrastructure.

Needs verification

Whether the package supports workflow execution monitoring beyond definition management, or if execution APIs require a separate client.
Performance characteristics and rate-limiting behavior when managing large numbers of workflow definitions.
Whether gRPC transport is the only option or if REST alternatives are available.
