A programmable client library that takes advantage of the commonalities among lazr.restful web services.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need to consume a lazr.restful web service. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, no known security vulnerabilities, and is in production-stable status. The LGPL v3 copyleft license is standard for this project ecosystem and poses no barrier for most use cases. Install it only if you're actually targeting a lazr.restful API; it's not a general-purpose REST client.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a valid lazr.restful service endpoint and OAuth credentials (token or consumer key/secret) for authentication.
- Low friction install with a recent release (13 days old) and active maintenance status.
- Four runtime dependencies (distro, httplib2, oauthlib, wadllib) are all standard libraries with no known complications.

What it is and what it does
lazr.restfulclient is a Python HTTP client library designed specifically for consuming lazr.restful web services. It sits on top of wadllib (which handles WADL—Web Application Description Language—parsing) and adds higher-level abstractions to simplify working with REST APIs that follow the lazr.restful conventions. The library handles authentication via oauthlib, makes HTTP requests through httplib2, and uses distro for platform detection.
The package is intended for developers building tools or integrations that need to talk to lazr.restful-based services. It abstracts away boilerplate HTTP and authentication logic, letting you work with REST resources as Python objects rather than raw HTTP calls. It supports Python 3.8 through 3.14 and is in production-stable status, making it suitable for production use in projects that depend on lazr.restful APIs.
Use it for
- Building command-line tools or scripts that interact with Launchpad or other lazr.restful services.
- Automating workflows that require programmatic access to REST APIs following lazr.restful conventions.
- Integrating lazr.restful-based services into larger Python applications without hand-coding HTTP requests.
- Testing or monitoring lazr.restful web services by consuming their WADL descriptions and making authenticated calls.
