It handles user registration, login (including SRP-based authentication), password resets, token verification, and administrative operations like listing users and groups. The package manages JWT token claims, supports multi-factor authentication flows, and can work with device authentication if your Cognito pool is configured for it.\n\nThe package depends on boto3 for AWS API calls, pyjwt for token verification, requests for HTTP operations, and envs for environment variable handling. It supports Python 3.8 through 3.12 and is designed for applications that need to integrate Cognito without writing low-level Boto3 boilerplate.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and solves a real friction point for Python developers integrating Cognito. No known vulnerabilities. Install it if your application uses AWS Cognito and you want to avoid writing Boto3 boilerplate for common auth flows."},"id":"pycognito","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pycognito","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pycognito.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pycognito/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-05-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pycognito","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python class to integrate Boto3's Cognito client so it is easy to login users.
