Hi @Machoney - Thanks for raising this discussion. From a project perspective there are no officially supported python clients.

The officially maintained clients are:

• https://pkg.go.dev/go.etcd.io/etcd/client/v3
• https://github.com/etcd-io/jetcd

The projects listed under https://etcd.io/docs/v3.5/integrations/#python are for community reference and knowledge and the following disclaimer from the top of the page applies:

Note that third-party libraries and tools (not hosted on https://github.com/etcd-io) mentioned below are not tested or maintained by the etcd team. Before using them, users are recommended to read and investigate them.
