A pure-Python implementation of the Android ADB and Fastboot protocols using libusb1 for USB communication. It can be used as a Python library or as standalone command-line tools (pyadb, pyfastboot) for communicating with Android devices programmatically.
Use cases
- communicate with android devices from python
- automate adb shell commands in tests
- run fastboot commands programmatically
- flash android devices in automated pipelines
- push and pull files to android devices via python
- list connected android devices without adb daemon
When to choose
- you need to control Android devices from Python code
- you want a daemon-less ADB client for automated testing
- you need portable standalone ADB/Fastboot tools runnable via Python
- you must ensure commands never target the wrong device
When to avoid
- you need multiple simultaneous commands to the same device
- you need maximum performance for high-throughput device communication
- you want an actively maintained project - consider adb_shell instead
- you just need the standard adb/fastboot CLI experience
