What is it?

RPA Framework is a collection of open-source libraries for Robotic Process Automation, the practice of scripting software robots that carry out repetitive computer tasks. Each library can be imported into Robot Framework test-style task files or used directly from regular Python code.

The project ships a broad set of libraries: browser control via Selenium and Playwright, desktop automation for Windows and cross-platform use, Excel and Word and Outlook application control, Excel file editing, PDF reading and creation, image manipulation, email over IMAP/SMTP and Exchange, FTP, HTTP, and database access. It also includes connectors for AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Microsoft Graph, Salesforce, Slack, HubSpot and others, plus OCR and document-AI integrations.

The libraries are distributed as separate PyPI packages, with a main rpaframework package that bundles most of them. Installation is typically done through a conda.yaml file or pip in a virtual environment, and Python 3.9.2 or later is required.
