tldr - there isnt one.

Universal Robots has an unofficially-official package for RTDE in python: [GitHub - UniversalRobots/RTDE\_Python\_Client\_Library: RTDE client library and examples](https://github.com/UniversalRobots/RTDE_Python_Client_Library)

There is a decent third party project over here: [GitHub - SintefManufacturing/python-urx: Python library to control a robot from 'Universal Robots' http://www.universal-robots.com/](https://github.com/SintefManufacturing/python-urx)

and ur\_rtde: [ur-rtde · PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/ur-rtde/)

and finally, there is a paid library from Under Automation, but I havent used it so i cant speak on it: [GitHub - underautomation/UniversalRobots: UnderAutomation Universal Robots Communication SDK (Software Development Kit) provides the ability to create customized applications that can communicate with every UR robots.](https://github.com/underautomation/UniversalRobots)
