While it carries no known vulnerabilities as of the current scan, it has received no maintenance, bug fixes, or security updates. The classifiers indicate testing through Python 3.5, and the underlying paramiko dependency may have evolved significantly since then.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned and has not been updated since 2016-07-06. While it has no known vulnerabilities today, it will not receive security patches or bug fixes going forward. For new projects, use a maintained SFTP library or paramiko directly. For existing code already using pysftp, evaluate migration to an actively maintained alternative."},"id":"pysftp","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pysftp","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pysftp.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pysftp/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2016-07-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pysftp","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A friendly face on SFTP"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":11608958,"position":1382,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.9"}
