pyavd-utils
Rust based utilities used by PyAVD. Should not be used directly and may not follow semantic versioning.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are a direct user of PyAVD. The package is explicitly an internal dependency not intended for direct use and explicitly warns that it may not follow semantic versioning. Install only if PyAVD requires it as a transitive dependency, or if you are contributing to the PyAVD project itself.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; compiled wheels provided for macOS (Intel and ARM), Linux (x86_64 and ARM), Windows, and musl-based systems.
- Medium install friction due to compiled wheels for multiple platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows, ARM).
- Active maintenance with recent releases; however, the package explicitly warns it is an internal dependency and may not follow semantic versioning, so breaking changes can occur in minor and patch versions.

What it is and what it does
pyavd-utils is a Rust-based utility library designed as an internal component of PyAVD, the standalone Python binding for Arista's AVD Ansible collection. It provides low-level data structure validation and manipulation functions that power PyAVD's core capabilities—input validation, AVD facts generation, and structured configuration generation—without requiring a full Ansible installation. The package is explicitly marked as internal and not intended for direct end-user use.
The library is distributed as compiled wheels for Python 3.10 and later across macOS, Linux, Windows, and musl-based systems. It has no runtime dependencies and is actively maintained, though it carries a warning that it may introduce breaking changes in minor and patch versions without prior notice, departing from standard semantic versioning.
Use it for
- Building custom Python applications that need AVD's data validation and configuration generation without a full Ansible runtime
- Integrating AVD logic into network automation tools or CI/CD pipelines as a lightweight Python library
- Leveraging Rust performance for large-scale data structure validation in network configuration workflows
