# infisical-python — Official Infisical SDK for Python (New)

License: unclear · Maintenance: aging · Downloads: 102.6K/mo

## What it is and what it does

infisical-python is a Python client library for Infisical, a secrets and configuration management platform built on end-to-end encryption. It allows developers to programmatically fetch secrets and configs from Infisical into their Python applications, typically for use in deployment pipelines, application initialization, or runtime secret injection.

The package supports Python 3.7 through current versions and is distributed as pre-compiled wheels for Linux, macOS, and Windows. However, the description explicitly states this SDK is officially fully deprecated and is no longer supported by Infisical, with the maintainer directing users to migrate to the Official Infisical Python SDK instead.

Use it for:

- Load encrypted secrets from Infisical into a Python application at startup.
- Inject team-managed configuration into CI/CD pipelines during deployment.
- Retrieve environment-specific secrets without storing them in code or .env files.
- Centralize secret rotation and access control across multiple Python services.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides a Python SDK to retrieve secrets and configuration from Infisical, an end-to-end encrypted secrets management platform.

No. This package is officially fully deprecated and is no longer supported by Infisical. The maintainer explicitly directs users to move to the Official Infisical Python SDK. Installing a deprecated, unmaintained secrets library introduces security and maintenance risk; use the official replacement instead.

## Install

pip install infisical-python
uv add infisical-python
poetry add infisical-python

## Installing infisical-python

Before you install: Medium install friction due to compiled wheels across multiple Python versions and platforms. The package is aging (484 days since last release) with maintenance status marked as aging.

License in practice: License treatment is unclear—no SPDX identifier or raw license text is available in the package metadata, making it difficult to assess legal obligations before use.

Quickstart:

pip install infisical-python

import infisical_python

# See documentation at https://infisical.com/docs/sdks/languages/python

Package is officially deprecated; maintainer directs users to the Official Infisical Python SDK instead.

Verify before relying:

- Exact API surface, method signatures, and usage patterns not provided in the fact sheet.
- Authentication mechanism (token, API key, environment variable) not specified.
- Whether the package works with current Infisical server versions given its age.
- Specific security implications of using a deprecated secrets management library.
