No. The package is abandoned (last release 2013-05-20, no maintenance since), has unclear licensing, specifies no Python version support, and is almost certainly broken on modern Python. Install friction is high and there is no active development or security oversight. Only consider it if you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on it and cannot migrate.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Package is abandoned since 2013; no Python version support specified and likely incompatible with modern Python releases.
- High install friction and abandoned maintenance status.
- Last release was in May 2013, over a decade ago, with no recent commits or repository activity.

What it is and what it does
Storage is a library for programmatic interaction with enterprise storage infrastructure—specifically storage arrays, Fibre Channel switches, and servers. It was designed to provide Python classes and functions as a control layer over these systems, likely for automation, monitoring, or integration tasks in data center environments.
The package has been abandoned since its last release on 2013-05-20 and receives no maintenance. With no specified Python version support and no recent activity, it is almost certainly incompatible with modern Python releases and contemporary storage systems. The documentation site may or may not be accessible, and the underlying hardware it targets may no longer be in common use.
Use it for
- Legacy system integration: controlling or querying older enterprise storage arrays in environments still running them
- Historical reference: understanding how storage management was abstracted in early Python libraries
- Data center automation: automating storage provisioning or monitoring tasks in systems that still depend on this library

High install friction and abandoned maintenance status. Last release was in May 2013, over a decade ago, with no recent commits or repository activity. No runtime dependencies, but the age and lack of maintenance signal serious risk for modern environments.
