python-redmine
Library for communicating with a Redmine project management application
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need to integrate with a Redmine server and want a stable, well-documented Python client. The library is production-ready (Development Status 5), has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. However, note that maintenance is dormant (last release 866 days ago)—suitable for established integrations but not ideal if you need active upstream support or compatibility with very recent Redmine versions. Verify your Redmine version compatibility before adopting.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Redmine server running with REST API enabled; requests >= 2.31.0 is mandatory as of version 2.5.0.
- Low install friction with a single dependency (requests >= 2.31.0).
- Dormant maintenance status—last release was 866 days ago (2024-03-31), though the repository remains active with recent commits and no archived status.

What it is and what it does
Python-Redmine is a client library that wraps Redmine's REST API in a Pythonic, ORM-inspired interface. It lets you query, create, update, and delete Redmine resources—projects, issues, users, time entries, and more—using familiar object-oriented patterns rather than raw HTTP calls. The library depends only on requests and supports Python 3.7 through 3.12 and PyPy3.
It's designed for developers who need to automate Redmine workflows, integrate Redmine data into other systems, or build tooling on top of Redmine. The ORM-style API means you work with resource objects and their attributes directly, rather than parsing JSON responses. Standard Edition is open-source under Apache 2.0; a Pro Edition with extended plugin support is available commercially.
Use it for
- Automate issue creation and status updates in bulk from external data sources or CI/CD pipelines.
- Extract project and issue data for reporting, analytics, or integration with business intelligence tools.
- Build custom dashboards or monitoring tools that pull real-time data from Redmine.
- Synchronize Redmine issues with external ticketing or project management systems.
- Manage time entries and project resources programmatically for resource planning automation.
