It was designed primarily to work around compilation difficulties on Windows, where the sasl library is hard to build from source, and secondarily to support custom socket types like SSL. The package depends on thrift, pure-sasl, and thrift-sasl to function.\n\nThe transport accepts basic SSL configuration through use_ssl and socket_kwargs parameters. However, the package has been abandoned since early 2020 and is classified as Alpha. It also has a known incompatibility with SQLAlchemy engines due to PyHive's internal assertions about connection parameters, which the author documents but does not resolve within pure-transport itself.","worth_installing":"No, not recommended for new projects. The package is abandoned (last release 2020-01-29, no commits since), classified as Alpha, and relies on outdated Python version support (up to 3.4). While install friction is low and there are no known vulnerabilities, the lack of maintenance means compatibility with modern Python, Thrift, and Hive versions is uncertain. For Windows users needing pure-SASL, evaluate whether PyHive itself or alternative Hive clients now have better native support."},"id":"pure-transport","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pure-transport","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pure-transport.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pure-transport/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-01-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pure-transport","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Pure Sasl Based Thrift Transport for PyHive"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":220152,"position":9311,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.0"}
