It allows you to perform cryptographic key operations\u2014create, read, update, delete\u2014and manage related objects like certificates and passwords through a standardized protocol interface.\n\nThe library provides client-side KMIP functionality with no external runtime dependencies, making it straightforward to integrate into Python applications that need to interact with KMIP-compliant key servers. However, the project is dormant: the last release was in 2020, and while the repository remains active, there have been no new versions for over 2362 days, which may raise concerns about compatibility with modern Python versions and current KMIP server implementations.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. PyKMIP is suitable for integrating with KMIP servers in enterprise environments. However, install it only if you need KMIP protocol support and are comfortable with dormant maintenance: verify that version 0.10.0 works with your target Python version and KMIP server before committing to production use. No known vulnerabilities, but the lack of recent releases means compatibility with modern Python versions and current KMIP specs is unverified."},"id":"pykmip","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pykmip","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pykmip.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pykmip/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-02-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"PyKMIP","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"KMIP library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":229503,"position":9130,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.10.0"}
