What it is and what it does

python-owasp-zap-v2.4 is a deprecated package that has been renamed to zaproxy. It no longer receives updates or maintenance; the package metadata explicitly directs users to install zaproxy instead. When installed, it pulls zaproxy as its sole runtime dependency, making it a pure redirect with no independent functionality.

The package is marked as Inactive in its development status and has not been updated since its latest release on 2023-08-09. It exists only to help users discover the new package name and avoid broken imports during migration. Anyone installing this should immediately switch to using zaproxy directly in their code and requirements.

Use it for:

  • Migrating legacy code that imports from python-owasp-zap-v2.4 to the zaproxy package
  • Temporary compatibility layer during a codebase transition from the old package name to zaproxy
  • Understanding that this package no longer receives maintenance or updates

Worth the install?

No. This package is abandoned and serves only as a deprecated alias. Install zaproxy directly instead—it is the active successor and will receive updates and support. Using this package adds no value and delays your migration to the maintained codebase.
