It was created as an alternative to older or unmaintained cryptography libraries, offering a self-contained Python 3 implementation with no compiled dependencies. The package provides direct access to the Rijndael algorithm without wrapping or additional abstractions.\n\nThe package has been abandoned since its last release on 2019-06-20 and receives no active maintenance or security updates. While it carries an MIT License and has low installation friction, its lack of ongoing development means it does not benefit from bug fixes, performance improvements, or responses to newly discovered cryptographic issues. For new projects, maintained alternatives are strongly preferred.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last update 2019-06-20) with no security maintenance. For any production or security-sensitive use, choose a maintained alternative. For educational purposes only, the lack of documentation and active support makes it a poor learning resource."},"id":"py3rijndael","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py3rijndael","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py3rijndael.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/py3rijndael/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-06-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"py3rijndael","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Rijndael algorithm library for Python3."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":166920,"position":10481,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.3"}
