## What it is
The Alibaba Cloud (Aliyun) Python SDK V1.0, providing Python clients for Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI services. It has entered basic security maintenance and is deprecated in favor of the V2.0 SDK.

## Use cases
- call alibaba cloud apis from python
- manage aliyun ecs instances programmatically
- automate alibaba cloud resources with python
- sign and send requests to aliyun openapi
- integrate aliyun services into a python app

## When to choose
- maintaining an existing legacy project already built on the V1.0 SDK
- you need a client for an Alibaba Cloud API not yet covered by V2.0

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the V2.0 alibabacloud-python-sdk instead
- you need new features or active support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: sdk, http-client
- domain: cloud-computing, apis, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: alibaba-cloud, openapi, deprecated, cloud-sdk
