sail-sdk
Deprecated: use the sail package instead. Compatibility release of the Sail Python SDK.
What it is and what it does
sail-sdk is a thin redirect package that has been deprecated in favor of the sail package. It exists solely to maintain backward compatibility: when installed, it pulls in the matching sail release, so the import statement and CLI remain `import sail` and `sail` respectively, with no code changes required. This allows existing projects to continue working without immediate action.
The package is no longer the source of active development or documentation. All new features, releases, and support have moved to sail. Users should migrate by replacing sail-sdk with sail in their requirements files. The redirect ensures that old installs don't break, but new projects should install sail directly to receive ongoing updates and support.
Use it for:
- Maintaining existing code that depends on sail-sdk without code changes by installing the redirect package
- Transitioning a project from sail-sdk to sail by replacing the package name in requirements while keeping imports unchanged
- Ensuring backward compatibility in CI/CD pipelines that still reference sail-sdk until full migration is complete
Worth the install?
AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
sail-sdk is a deprecated compatibility shim that installs the canonical sail package, maintaining backward compatibility for existing projects while redirecting to the actively maintained sail package.
No. This is a deprecated compatibility shim. Install the canonical sail package instead. If you have existing code depending on sail-sdk, you can use this package to avoid immediate breakage, but plan a migration to sail: replace sail-sdk with sail in your requirements (your code needs no changes), then run `pip uninstall sail-sdk && pip install sail` to complete the switch cleanly.

Before you install
Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel. Actively maintained as of 1 day ago, though this package itself is deprecated in favor of sail; the redirect ensures existing installs continue to work without breakage.
Quickstart
# For new projects, install sail directly:
pip install sail
# If migrating from sail-sdk:
pip uninstall sail-sdk && pip install sail
import sail
Requires Python >=3.9. Upgrading sail-sdk in place may temporarily break imports; uninstall then reinstall sail to avoid this.
Verify before relying
- What functionality the underlying sail package provides and whether it matches your use case
- Whether the sail package's license and support model align with your project requirements
- The scope and stability of the sail package's API and CLI
