Is pydantic healthy, maintained, and safe?
Mostly yes — pydantic is maintained, with a couple of watch-items rather than red flags.
The verdict
OSPulse scores pydantic at 68/100 (low risk), computed deterministically from live PyPI release history, and the OSV vulnerability database. Mostly yes — pydantic is maintained, with a couple of watch-items rather than red flags.
Its most recent release shipped on 22 May 2026 — 67 days ago — so development is clearly active. Across 201 releases the cadence has been steady, which is a good sign of an ongoing maintenance rhythm. PyPI doesn't expose a reliable maintainer count, so bus-factor isn't scored here — treat maintenance depth as unknown rather than assumed.
OSV lists 4 known advisories for pydantic, of assorted severity. Review whether your version is in the affected range and whether a fixed release is available before depending on it. Each advisory is listed with its OSV/GHSA identifier below.
A couple of watch-items aside, pydantic is a reasonable dependency to rely on; keep an eye on the flagged signals. This is a one-time snapshot of a single package — real projects depend on dozens or hundreds of packages, and any one of them can drift or be compromised between releases.
