bitwarden-sdk 2.0.0

A Bitwarden Client for python

Build locally

Requirements

• Python 3
• Rust
• maturin (install with pip install maturin, or pip install maturin[patchelf] on Linux)
• npm
• uv (recommended; used in test automation)

Build

npm install
npm run schemas # generate schemas.py

cd languages/python/

You will need to build and run the script using a virtual environment. This will be slightly different depending on the OS you are using:

# --- Linux/macOS ---
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# --- Windows ---
python -m venv venv

venv\Scripts\activate.bat # cmd.exe
venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 # Powershell

Run

maturin develop
python3 ./example.py

deactivate # run this to close the virtual session

You can now import BitwardenClient in your Python code with:

from bitwarden_sdk import BitwardenClient

Use without building locally

pip install bitwarden-sdk

Run

Set the ORGANIZATION_ID and ACCESS_TOKEN environment variables to your organization ID and access token, respectively.

python3 ./example.py
