The Python eSignature SDK is provided by Docusign to help Python developers use the Docusign eSignature REST API. It is provided both as a PyPI module as well as an open source repo on GitHub. The Python eSignature SDK is also used when developers opt to get started with the Python Quickstart, which generates ready-to-use, personalized Python code.

Compatibility

  • The Python eSignature SDK is compatible with Python version 2.7 and later.

SDK versions

New versions of the SDK are released periodically to use the newest version of the eSignature REST API v2.1. SDK versions use the standard period-separated software versioning scheme. General release versions are of the form x.y.z, and release candidate (prerelease) versions are of the form x.y.z-rc.

The SDK’s changelog file lists each SDK update and its notable changes from the prior version.

Developers are not required to update their applications to new versions of the SDK, unless there’s a specific reason to do so:

  • Access to a new eSignature API feature or method
  • An SDK bug fix including security-related issues
  • To support an updated version of one of the SDK’s dependencies

SDK Issues

If you find any issues with the SDKs, you can report problems by opening an issue on the GitHub repo, or by reporting the problem to Customer Service.
