rpaframework-core
Core utilities used by RPA Framework
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are building RPA solutions with Robot Framework or Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and provides essential core utilities for the RPA Framework ecosystem. Install it as a dependency of the main rpaframework package or specialized packages rather than directly, unless you need only the core utilities for custom automation development.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; some runtime dependencies (pywin32, uiautomation) are Windows-specific for desktop automation features.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.
- Actively maintained with last commit 2026-07-30 and 1547 repository stars indicate ongoing development.

What it is and what it does
rpaframework-core is a support package within the RPA Framework ecosystem, an open-source collection of libraries for Robotic Process Automation designed to work with both Robot Framework and Python. The package provides core utilities that underpin the broader framework's capabilities, which span web automation, desktop control, cloud services, enterprise applications, and data processing. It is actively maintained by Robocorp and optimized for their Control Room and Developer Tools platforms.
The package depends on eight runtime libraries: httpx, packaging, pillow, psutil, pywin32, selenium, uiautomation, and webdriver-manager. It supports Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12 and is classified as Production/Stable. As a support package, it does not contain end-user libraries directly; most users will install it as a dependency of the main rpaframework package or specialized sub-packages for their specific automation needs.
Use it for
- Serve as a foundational dependency for web automation workflows using selenium for browser control.
- Support Windows desktop automation and system task control via pywin32 and uiautomation integration.
- Enable image processing and manipulation tasks as part of larger automation pipelines using pillow.
- Provide core utilities for RPA solutions deployed within Robocorp's Control Room platform.
- Support HTTP operations and web API interactions through httpx for data-driven automation processes.
