temporalio

Checklist

• I read CONTRIBUTING.md - awesome-python is a shortlist, not a catalog
• One project per PR
• PR title format: Add project-name
• Entry format: - [pypi-name](https://github.com/owner/repo) - Description ending with period.
• Display name is the PyPI package name
• Placed in an existing use case (new sections and subcategories are maintainer-only)
• Meets all Quality Requirements: active, stable, documented, at least 1 month old

Which Tier

• Obvious choice - a tool an experienced Python developer would name when asked "what do I use for this?"
• Challenger

Explain: temporalio is the official Python SDK for Temporal, the durable-execution workflow engine. It is the usual choice for long-running, retry-safe business and agent workflows, while dagster, airflow and prefect are mainly used for data pipelines.

• 38.1M downloads/month, versus dagster 7.9M, apache-airflow 7.2M and prefect 6.9M. One caveat: openai-agents declares temporalio as a dependency (it is pinned in one of its extras), so part of this count comes from that.
• Repo last pushed 2026-10-09, not archived, created 2022, released regularly (v1.34.0)

Displacement

Not needed. Job Schedulers > Workflow Orchestration has 3 entries. It is placed first following the downloads ordering. If you see it as a challenger instead, I'm happy to move it to the end.

Evidence fetched 2026-10-09: downloads from pypistats.org recent (last_month), repo state from the GitHub API. make test passes (142 passed).
