Our Python SDK is now v1

What's new?

A few months ago, we took over stewardship of the community-contributed Python SDK for Paddle Billing. Today, we've released version 1.0.0, which means it's ready to rely on with no further breaking changes as part of this version.

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.

We use semantic versioning for our SDKs. We initially released our Python SDK as major version zero (0.y.z). While we were confident it was stable, we wanted to get feedback from our developer community before locking in version 1.

We've made a bunch of quality-of-life improvements since launch, and today we've released version 1.0.0 of our Python SDK for Paddle Billing. This means it's now ready to rely on, with a guarantee that there will be no further breaking changes as part of this version.

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 license, so anyone in the Paddle community can contribute.
