`taospy` is the official Python connector for TDengine. `taospy` provides a rich set of APIs that makes it easy for Python applications to access TDengine. `taospy` wraps both the [native interface](/reference/connector/cpp) and [REST interface](/reference/rest-api) of TDengine, which correspond to the `taos` and `taosrest` modules of the `taospy` package, respectively. But for cloud users using `taosrest` is enough.
`taospy` is the official Python connector for TDengine. `taospy` wraps the [REST interface](/reference/rest-api) of TDengine. Additionally `taospy` provides a set of programming interfaces that conforms to the [Python Data Access Specification (PEP 249)](https://peps.python.org/pep-0249/). It is easy to integrate `taospy` with many third-party tools, such as [SQLAlchemy](https://www.sqlalchemy.org/) and [pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/).
