# tencentcloud-sdk-python-common — Tencent Cloud Common SDK for Python

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 972.5K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This is the common foundation package for the Tencent Cloud Python SDK ecosystem. It provides shared utilities, authentication helpers, and base classes that other service-specific SDK packages (for CVM, CBS, and other Tencent Cloud services) depend on. The package itself does not directly interact with cloud services; instead, it supplies the infrastructure that service-specific packages build upon.

The package supports Python 2.7 and 3.x, installs with minimal friction (only requests as a runtime dependency), and is actively maintained by Tencent. It is distributed as a pure Python wheel, making installation straightforward across platforms.

Use it for:

- Setting up a Python environment to use Tencent Cloud service SDKs by installing the common base package first
- Accessing shared authentication and request-handling utilities when building integrations with multiple Tencent Cloud services
- Developing applications that interact with Tencent Cloud infrastructure like CVM instances or CBS volumes

## Worth the install?

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

Provides Python bindings and common utilities for accessing Tencent Cloud services like CVM and CBS through the official SDK.

Yes, if you are using Tencent Cloud services from Python. This is the required common foundation for all service-specific Tencent Cloud SDKs. Install friction is low, maintenance is active, and the permissive Apache 2.0 license poses no restrictions. No known vulnerabilities.

## Install

pip install tencentcloud-sdk-python-common
uv add tencentcloud-sdk-python-common
poetry add tencentcloud-sdk-python-common

## Installing tencentcloud-sdk-python-common

Before you install: Low install friction with a single lightweight dependency (requests). Actively maintained with a recent release and 708 repository stars, indicating ongoing support.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache License 2.0 (permissive), allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

pip install tencentcloud-sdk-python-common

import tencentcloud_sdk_python_common
# Common utilities available for use with Tencent Cloud service SDKs

Verify before relying:

- Whether this package alone is sufficient or if service-specific SDK packages must be installed separately for actual API calls
- Current support status for Python 2.7 given its end-of-life status
