pyproject-api
API to interact with the python pyproject.toml based projects
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. Active maintenance, zero known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive MIT licensing make this a safe choice. The package is in production-stable status and widely used, making it a reliable foundation for tools that need to read pyproject.toml files.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later
- Low friction installation with only two lightweight runtime dependencies (packaging and tomli).
- Active maintenance with a release within the last month and no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
pyproject-api is a library that provides programmatic access to Python project configuration stored in pyproject.toml files. It abstracts away the details of parsing and validating project metadata, allowing tools and scripts to reliably read project information without manually handling TOML parsing or schema validation.
The package is designed for developers building tools that need to inspect or interact with Python projects—build systems, testing frameworks, dependency managers, and IDE integrations. It depends on packaging and tomli to handle the underlying parsing and version specification logic, and supports Python 3.10 and later.
Use it for
- Build tools that need to read project metadata and dependencies from pyproject.toml without reimplementing parsing logic
- Testing frameworks that require introspection of project configuration and isolated environment setup
- Package managers or dependency resolvers that must inspect project metadata programmatically
- IDE plugins or editor extensions that display project information or validate configuration
- CI/CD pipelines that need to extract build requirements or project metadata at runtime
