office365
A wrapper around O365 offering subclasses with additional utility methods.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. The package is abandoned (latest release 2020-12-15, last commit 2021-02-27) and explicitly warns that its API is unstable and documentation is out of sync. While it offers a SQLAlchemy-like query interface over O365, the lack of maintenance means any incompatibilities with current O365 or Microsoft 365 API versions will not be addressed. Use the O365 library directly or a maintained alternative instead.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires valid Microsoft 365 credentials (client ID and secret) and active internet connection to authenticate with Microsoft services.
- Low install friction, but maintenance is abandoned—last commit was 2021-02-27 and the package has not been updated since its latest release on 2020-12-15.
- The seven runtime dependencies are all external packages; any breaking changes in O365 or its ecosystem will not be addressed.

What it is and what it does
office365 is a wrapper around the O365 library that simplifies interaction with Microsoft Outlook and People services from Python. It provides a configuration class for managing and persisting credentials, a query interface modeled after SQLAlchemy for cleaner data access, and extended subclasses of O365 objects with additional utility methods. The package is explicitly marked as under active development with a warning that the API will undergo significant breaking changes and documentation may fall out of sync.
The package depends on seven runtime libraries including O365, azure-storage-blob, and several utility packages (pymiscutils, pathmagic, pyiotools, pysubtypes, maybe-else). However, the project has been abandoned since its latest release on 2020-12-15 with no commits after 2021-02-27. This means any issues, API incompatibilities with newer O365 or Microsoft 365 versions, or bugs will not be fixed by the maintainer.
Use it for
- Access Outlook mailboxes and People contacts programmatically when you need a query-like interface rather than direct O365 library calls.
- Manage Microsoft 365 credentials securely with automatic persistence to disk for repeated authentication.
- Build internal tools or scripts that interact with Outlook and People services using a higher-level abstraction.
- Extend O365 functionality with custom utility methods via the package's subclassed objects.
