Python SDK now available

What's new?

We took over stewardship for the community-contributed Python SDK for Paddle Billing. It's now an official Paddle Billing SDK, available on our GitHub account.

How it works

SDKs make it easier to work with the Paddle Billing platform. They reduce the amount of boilerplate code you need to write and include helper functions to make it quicker and easier to integrate Paddle Billing.

Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. Previously, @Invincibear released a Python SDK (paddle-billing-python-sdk) that we know some folks were using.

To complement our PHP and Node.js SDKs, we recently took over stewardship for the paddle-billing-python-sdk project. Our team of Python Paddlers and security experts have reviewed the code, and today we're releasing it as an official Paddle Billing SDK. It's now available at @PaddleHQ/paddle-python-sdk.

Key features

• Available on PyPI for install using the pip package manager.
• Fully feature complete with the Paddle API.
• Includes helper functions to help you verify webhook signatures.
• Released under the Apache 2.0 licence, so anyone in the Paddle community can contribute.
