2.11.0 verified Sat May 09 auth: no python

Official Python SDK for Scaleway cloud infrastructure. Current version 2.11.0, supports Python >=3.10. Active development with regular releases.

pip install scaleway

Common errors

error ImportError: No module named 'scaleway_sdk' ↓

cause Package renamed from scaleway-sdk to scaleway in v2.

fix

pip install scaleway then import: from scaleway import ScalewayClient

error AttributeError: module 'scaleway' has no attribute 'client' ↓

cause Old pattern 'scaleway.client' replaced by ScalewayClient class.

fix

Use: from scaleway import ScalewayClient

error TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'region' ↓

cause Region parameter not supported in v2; use zone instead.

fix

Pass zone='fr-par-1' instead of region='fr-par'.

Warnings

breaking v2 changed all import paths and client initialization; old 'scaleway_sdk' package is no longer compatible. ↓

fix Use 'from scaleway import ScalewayClient' instead of 'from scaleway_sdk import Client'.

gotcha API methods are nested under service versions (e.g., instance.v1, instance.v2). Always specify the version. ↓

fix Use e.g., client.instance.v1.list_servers() not client.instance.list_servers()

deprecated auth via environment variables SCALEWAY_ACCESS_KEY and SCALEWAY_SECRET_KEY deprecated; use SCW_ACCESS_KEY and SCW_SECRET_KEY. ↓

fix Set SCW_ACCESS_KEY and SCW_SECRET_KEY environment variables.
