It implements the SASL/OAUTHBEARER mechanism and can source credentials from the AWS default chain, named profiles, assumed roles, or custom credential providers. The library depends on boto3 and botocore for AWS credential handling and Click for CLI support.\n\nYou integrate it by creating a token callback that calls one of the token generation methods and passing that callback to your Kafka client's OAUTHBEARER configuration. The library handles IAM signing and token expiry tracking, returning both the token and its expiration time in milliseconds.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use Amazon MSK and need IAM-based authentication. The package is Production/Stable, supports Python 3.8 through 3.13, has no known vulnerabilities, and is maintained by AWS. Install friction is low. Maintenance is aging (527 days since last release), so verify compatibility with your Kafka client library version before committing."},"id":"aws-msk-iam-sasl-signer-python","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aws-msk-iam-sasl-signer-python","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aws-msk-iam-sasl-signer-python.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aws-msk-iam-sasl-signer-python/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-03-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aws-msk-iam-sasl-signer-python","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Amazon MSK Library in Python for SASL/OAUTHBEARER Auth"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":5407085,"position":2108,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.2"}
