It wraps protocol-specific implementations\u2014including Kerberos via minikerberos, cryptographic operations via unicrypto and asn1crypto, and socket handling via asysocks\u2014to let developers work with authentication without managing each protocol's details separately.\n\nThe package is designed for scenarios where authentication needs to work across different protocols or where you want to defer protocol selection until runtime. It supports Python 3.7 and later and is distributed as a pure-Python wheel, making installation straightforward. The library appears to be stable but aging, with the last update 289 days ago; it has no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. Install if you need a unified authentication abstraction and are comfortable with an aging codebase (last update 289 days ago) and an unclear license. Verify the actual license in the repository and test compatibility with your specific authentication protocols before deploying to production. No known vulnerabilities and low install friction are in its favor."},"id":"asyauth","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/asyauth","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/asyauth.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/asyauth/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-10-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"asyauth","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Unified authentication library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":94178,"position":13339,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.23"}
