RDPY is a pure Python implementation of the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) built on the Twisted event-driven network engine, supporting both client and server sides plus VNC. It ships with binaries including an RDP client, screenshot tool, man-in-the-middle session recorder, and honeypot.

Use cases

• implement RDP client or server in Python
• record RDP sessions through a man-in-the-middle proxy
• capture screenshots of RDP or VNC login screens
• set up an RDP honeypot for security research
• connect to remote desktops from the command line
• replay recorded RDP sessions with the RSS player

When to choose

• you need programmatic or scriptable RDP/VNC protocol access in Python
• you are doing security research like honeypots or session recording
• you want a lightweight pure-Python RDP implementation to extend

When to avoid

• you need a modern, actively maintained RDP client for daily use
• you require Python 3 compatibility or current PyQt versions
• you need high-performance full-featured remote desktop with modern RDP features
