It handles core SAML2 protocols, assertions, bindings, and metadata as specified by the standard, and was originally designed for WSGI environments with extensions for other frameworks.\n\nThe package depends on cryptography, defusedxml, pyopenssl, python-dateutil, requests, and xmlschema to parse and validate SAML2 XML structures. It requires Python 3.9 or later and is maintained by the IdentityPython community. With nearly 2.6 million monthly downloads, it is widely used for enterprise federated authentication and single sign-on integrations.","worth_installing":"Yes, with a license verification step. PySAML2 is a mature, widely-used implementation of a critical standard for enterprise identity federation. Install friction is low, security vulnerabilities are absent, and it supports current Python versions. However, resolve the unclear license status before committing to production use. The aging maintenance status is not a blocker given the stable repository state and active community."},"id":"pysaml2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pysaml2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pysaml2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pysaml2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-10-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"pysaml2","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python implementation of SAML Version 2 Standard"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2595971,"position":2975,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"7.5.4"}
