webdavclient3
WebDAV client, based on original package https://github.com/designerror/webdav-client-python but uses requests instead of PyCURL
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need WebDAV client functionality and your server is compatible. The package has low install friction, permissive licensing, no known vulnerabilities, and works across Python versions 3.6 and later. Maintenance is aging but not abandoned—consider it stable for basic operations. Verify compatibility with your specific WebDAV server and test asynchronous features before relying on them in production.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel and only three runtime dependencies (requests, lxml, python-dateutil).
- Maintenance status is aging—last release was 189 days ago—but the repository remains active with recent commits and no archived status.

What it is and what it does
webdavclient3 is a Python WebDAV client library that provides a simple interface for interacting with WebDAV servers. It uses requests for HTTP transport instead of PyCURL, making installation straightforward. The package supports both synchronous and asynchronous operations, allowing you to check resource existence, list directories, upload and download files, create and delete directories, copy and move resources, and manage publish/unpublish states.
The library is designed for working with cloud storage services that expose WebDAV endpoints. It handles authentication, SSL certificate verification, proxy configuration, request timeouts, and speed limiting. You configure a Client with a hostname and credentials, then call methods like download_sync(), upload_sync(), list(), mkdir(), and clean() to perform operations on remote resources.
Use it for
- Sync local directories with WebDAV-backed cloud storage by using pull() and push() methods
- Automate file uploads and downloads to a WebDAV server in a Python application or script
- Manage remote directories and files (create, delete, copy, move) without manual intervention
- Integrate WebDAV storage access into a Python application with configurable timeouts and proxies
- Batch download or upload multiple files asynchronously with callback progress tracking
