Wondering if I can rely on python library

[MuteMini]

Hi,
I'm using the python library build of pr-agent in a project, but noticed that it was two tags behind of the current version. It was best for me, I was running the gitlab webhook with some extra routes, it was easy to extend the fastapi app from the current library.

I was wondering if the python lib is planned to be supported long term or if I should switch to using docker images? Ideally I would be able to upgrade versions easily which was why I didn't fork

The Docker is updated more regularly. Better to use it.

The package is maintained and no longer lags. Releases now build the wheel and the Docker images as parallel jobs in a single workflow from the same commit and version, and a missing PyPI publish raises a warning on the release rather than passing silently. PyPI currently serves 0.45.0, matching the repository, and every release from 0.40.0 onwards is present; the gap you ran into in 2025 was a publishing outage that has since been fixed. So installing from PyPI and pinning a version is a reasonable way to keep upgrading without forking. The caveat is that there is no declared public Python API: the package exports nothing from its root, the only supported entry point is the pr-agent console script, and the FastAPI app you extend in pr_agent.servers.gitlab_webhook is internal and can change between releases without notice. Pin an exact version, read the release notes before bumping, and keep your extra routes in your own module rather than patching ours.
