It supports Python 3.7 through 3.12 and is classified as Production/Stable, though development has been dormant since mid-2024. No known vulnerabilities are recorded.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need password complexity or history validation beyond Django's defaults. The package is stable, has no vulnerabilities, and low install friction. However, dormant maintenance (no updates in 977 days) means you should verify compatibility with your Django version and be prepared to fork or patch if issues arise. Not necessary if Django's built-in validators meet your security requirements."},"id":"django-password-validators","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-password-validators","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-password-validators.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-password-validators/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-12-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-password-validators","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Additional libraries for validating passwords in Django."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":90815,"position":13563,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.7.3"}
