pulp-glue

What it is and what it does

pulp-glue is a beta-stage command-line interface and client library for interacting with Pulp 3 and its underlying Pulpcore REST API. It abstracts away version differences to provide a stable interface for managing content repositories and distributions. The package depends on requests for HTTP communication, pydantic for data validation, packaging for version handling, multidict for HTTP headers, and tomli for configuration parsing.

Developers use pulp-glue to automate repository operations, manage content synchronization, and interact with Pulpcore without writing raw REST calls. It's designed for teams running Pulp infrastructure who need programmatic or command-line control over their content distribution systems. The beta status signals that the API may change in future releases.

Use it for:

• Automate content repository management and synchronization workflows against Pulpcore.
• Build deployment scripts that manage package distributions and repository configurations via CLI.
• Integrate Pulp operations into CI/CD pipelines for automated content publishing.
• Query and manage Pulpcore repositories programmatically from Python applications.
• Migrate or replicate repository content across Pulp instances using the stable API abstraction.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

pulp-glue is a command-line interface for Pulp 3 that provides version-agnostic access to Pulpcore's REST API.

Yes, if you operate a Pulp 3 / Pulpcore infrastructure and need CLI or programmatic access to it. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and carries no known vulnerabilities. The GPL-2.0-or-later license is a blocker for proprietary use; the beta status means you should expect possible breaking changes. For open-source or internal tooling around Pulp, it's a solid choice.

Install

pulp-glue on PyPI

pip install pulp-glue

uv add pulp-glue

poetry add pulp-glue

Installing pulp-glue

Before you install

Low install friction with a pure-wheel distribution. Actively maintained with a commit from 2026-08-13 and a release from 2026-08-12, indicating recent development activity.

License in practice

Licensed under GPL-2.0-or-later (copyleft). Any software that uses pulp-glue must make its source code available under compatible terms; this is a significant constraint for proprietary or closed-source projects.

Quickstart

pip install pulp-glue

from pulp_glue import client

# Requires a running Pulpcore instance to connect to

Requires Python 3.10 or later. A running Pulpcore instance is needed to connect to.

Verify before relying

• Whether pulp-glue works with all Pulpcore versions or has specific version compatibility constraints beyond 'version agnostic'.
• What authentication methods are supported for connecting to Pulpcore REST API.
• Whether the beta status implies breaking changes are expected in near-term releases.
• Specific usage patterns and API surface for the client library beyond the CLI interface.
