Dapr Python SDK on Dapr Docs

Getting started with the Dapr client Python SDK

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Dapr client package allows you to interact with other Dapr applications from a Python application.

Note

If you haven’t already, try out one of the quickstarts for a quick walk-through on how to use the Dapr Python SDK with an API building block.

Prerequisites

Install the Dapr Python package before getting started.

Import the client package

The dapr package contains the DaprClient, which is used to create and use a client.

Getting started with the Dapr actor Python SDK

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Dapr actor package allows you to interact with Dapr virtual actors from a Python application.

Pre-requisites

Dapr CLI installed
Initialized Dapr environment
Python 3.9+ installed
Dapr Python package installed

Actor interface

The interface defines the actor contract that is shared between the actor implementation and the clients calling the actor. Because a client may depend on it, it typically makes sense to define it in an assembly that is separate from the actor implementation.

title: “Conversation API (Python) – Recommended Usage” linkTitle: “Conversation” weight: 11000 type: docs description: Recommended patterns for using Dapr Conversation API in Python with and without tools, including multi‑turn flows and safety guidance.

The Dapr Conversation API is currently in alpha. This page presents the recommended, minimal patterns to use it effectively with the Python SDK:

Plain requests (no tools)
Requests with tools (functions as tools)
Multi‑turn flows with tool execution
Async variants
Important safety notes for executing tool calls

Prerequisites

Dapr CLI installed
Initialized Dapr environment
Python 3.9+ installed
Dapr Python package installed
A configured LLM component (for example, OpenAI or Azure OpenAI) in your Dapr environment
