# python-owasp-zap-v2.4 — python-owasp-zap-v2.4 is now zaproxy

License: unclear · Maintenance: abandoned · Downloads: 73.9K/mo

## 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?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

This package is a deprecated alias that redirects users to zaproxy, the renamed successor package for OWASP ZAP v2.4 integration.

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.

## Install

pip install python-owasp-zap-v2-4
uv add python-owasp-zap-v2-4
poetry add python-owasp-zap-v2-4

## Installing python-owasp-zap-v2.4

Before you install: The package is abandoned (marked Inactive, last release 1101 days ago). It exists only as a redirect to zaproxy; installing it will pull zaproxy as a runtime dependency anyway.

License in practice: License information is not specified in the package metadata, making the legal status unclear for redistribution or modification.

Quickstart:

pip install python-owasp-zap-v2.4
# This installs zaproxy instead; use zaproxy directly going forward

This package is abandoned and serves only as a redirect. New code should use zaproxy directly rather than this alias.

Verify before relying:

- Whether zaproxy maintains backward compatibility with code written for this package
- What specific version of zaproxy is pulled by the redirect dependency
- Whether this package will remain available on PyPI or be delisted
