What it is and what it does
wmill is the official Python client for Windmill, a workflow automation platform. It wraps the Windmill server API and exposes both simple top-level functions for common operations (getting variables and resources, running scripts, managing state) and a lower-level Windmill class for direct API access via get/post methods. The library depends only on httpx for HTTP communication.
You use wmill when you need to interact with a Windmill instance from Python—either to orchestrate workflows, fetch configuration data, or integrate Windmill into a larger Python application. It's designed for both simple scripting (one-liners to fetch a variable) and complex automation (async job submission and polling).
Use it for
- Fetch Windmill variables and resources from within a Python script or application.
- Run Windmill scripts synchronously or asynchronously and retrieve their results.
- Manage script execution state across multiple invocations.
- Build Python automation that orchestrates jobs via the Windmill API.
- Integrate Windmill workflows into a larger Python backend or data pipeline.
