# scaleway — Scaleway SDK for Python

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 207.5K/mo

## What it is and what it does

The Scaleway Python SDK is a client library that lets you programmatically interact with Scaleway's cloud APIs from Python code. It wraps Scaleway's HTTP endpoints, handling authentication, request formatting, and response parsing so you can manage infrastructure, storage, compute, and other services without writing raw HTTP calls yourself.

The package depends on scaleway-core for its core functionality. It's in Alpha development status and actively maintained. The library supports Python versions including 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14, with installation requiring Python 3.10 or later.

Use it for:

- Automate provisioning and management of Scaleway compute instances, storage, and networking resources
- Build infrastructure-as-code scripts to deploy and configure Scaleway services programmatically
- Integrate Scaleway cloud operations into CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments
- Write monitoring or cost-tracking tools that query Scaleway account resources via API

## Worth the install?

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

Provides Python bindings to interact with Scaleway cloud APIs, enabling programmatic access to Scaleway's infrastructure and services.

Yes, if you need to interact with Scaleway APIs from Python. Low install friction, active maintenance, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities make it a straightforward choice. The Alpha status is worth noting—test thoroughly in non-production first to ensure the API surface meets your needs.

## Install

pip install scaleway
uv add scaleway
poetry add scaleway

## Installing scaleway

Before you install: Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (scaleway-core). Actively maintained with status marked active.

License in practice: Licensed under BSD (permissive), allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions. Also marked as Other/Proprietary, so review the actual license terms before heavy reliance.

Quickstart:

pip install scaleway

import scaleway
# Use scaleway-core functionality through the SDK

Requires Python 3.10 or later to install.

Verify before relying:

- Whether scaleway-core is a lightweight dependency or introduces significant transitive requirements
- API coverage and completeness relative to Scaleway's current service offerings
- Whether Alpha status reflects active development or stability concerns
