It supports multiple keystore formats (JKS, JCEKS, BKS, UBER) and exposes the contents as Python objects, allowing you to extract private keys, certificates, and secret keys for use in Python-based security workflows.\n\nThe library has been stable and mature since its first release in 2013 and carries no external dependencies, making it lightweight to install. However, its latest release was in 2020 and the repository is no longer actively maintained, which may be a consideration if you need support for newer keystore features, encryption algorithms, or compatibility with the latest Python versions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to read Java keystores in Python and can accept dormant maintenance. The library is mature, dependency-free, and carries no known vulnerabilities. However, verify that it handles your specific keystore format and encryption algorithms, and be aware that no updates have been released since 2020\u2014consider it a stable tool for straightforward keystore parsing rather than a foundation for new security-critical infrastructure."},"id":"pyjks","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyjks","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyjks.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyjks/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-04-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyjks","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Pure-Python Java Keystore (JKS) library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":814425,"position":4992,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"20.0.0"}
