Scaleway SDK for Python

What it is and what it does

Scaleway-core is the foundational Python SDK for Scaleway's cloud platform, providing low-level API client functionality and utilities needed to interact with Scaleway services. It handles the mechanics of authentication, HTTP request construction, and response parsing, sitting beneath higher-level service-specific packages.

The package depends on three widely-used libraries: requests for HTTP communication, PyYAML for configuration parsing, and python-dateutil for timestamp handling. It targets modern Python versions (3.10 through 3.14) and is currently in Alpha status, meaning the API may still evolve. It's actively maintained with recent releases.

Use it for:

Building automation scripts that provision or manage Scaleway cloud resources programmatically
Integrating Scaleway infrastructure into larger Python applications or deployment pipelines
Writing tools that query or monitor Scaleway account resources and services
Developing custom cloud management dashboards or reporting tools backed by Scaleway

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides Python bindings and utilities for interacting with Scaleway cloud services via their API, handling authentication, request formatting, and response parsing.

Yes, if you are building Python applications that need to interact with Scaleway cloud services. The low install friction, active maintenance, permissive license, and absence of known vulnerabilities make it a straightforward choice. The Alpha status is worth noting—expect the API to potentially change in future releases, but this is typical for SDKs early in their lifecycle.

Installing scaleway-core

Before you install

Low install friction with three common dependencies (PyYAML, python-dateutil, requests). Marked as Alpha in development status but actively maintained with a recent release.

License in practice

BSD license is permissive and allows commercial use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart

pip install scaleway-core

import scaleway_core
# Requires Scaleway API credentials (typically via environment or config)
