AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Official Python client for YDB, a distributed SQL database, enabling connection, querying, and transaction management through gRPC-based protocol bindings.

Low friction: pure-wheel distribution with four common runtime dependencies (grpcio, protobuf, aiohttp, packaging). Active maintenance—last commit 2026-08-13, release 14 days prior—and no known vulnerabilities.

Apache 2.0 permissive license allows commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; you may use, modify, and distribute the package provided you retain the license notice.

Usage

pip install ydb
import ydb
driver = ydb.construct_credentials_from_environ()
with ydb.Driver(endpoint="grpc://localhost", database="/local", credentials=driver) as conn:
    conn.wait()

Python 3.10 or higher required; YDB server instance must be accessible at the specified endpoint.

Verdict: Actively maintained official SDK with no security issues, permissive licensing, and low install friction. Suitable for production use with YDB databases; requires Python 3.10+ and a running YDB instance.

Needs verification

Whether aiohttp is used for async operations or is an optional dependency for specific features
Typical latency and throughput characteristics for common query patterns
Support scope for YDB server versions relative to SDK version 3.31.2
Default timeout values and connection pooling behavior
