It provides the cryptographic and protocol machinery needed to build authentication and authorization flows\u2014whether you're building a client that needs to authenticate users via an external identity provider, or a server that needs to issue identity tokens and handle authorization requests.\n\nThe package depends on cryptographic libraries (pycryptodomex, cryptography, pyjwkest), XML handling (defusedxml), HTTP communication (requests), and templating (mako), plus modern Python tooling (pydantic-settings, typing-extensions). It targets Python 3.8 through 3.11 and has been actively maintained since its initial release in 2014, though the description notes that documentation and examples have drifted and are being brought back into shape.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and implements a mature standard. However, the description acknowledges that documentation and examples are largely unmaintained and contain issues. Install if you need a full OpenID Connect/OAuth 2.0 implementation and can tolerate working from the code and community resources rather than polished docs; avoid if you need comprehensive, current examples or tutorials to get started quickly."},"id":"oic","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/oic","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/oic.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/oic/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-04-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"oic","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python implementation of OAuth2 and OpenID Connect"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":502297,"position":6309,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.7.0"}
