It provides session management, user authentication flows, and multi-factor authentication capabilities by delegating authentication logic to a separate SuperTokens core service. The SDK handles token generation, validation, and session lifecycle management, and integrates with common Python web frameworks.\n\nYou install it alongside your API code, configure it with your SuperTokens service endpoint and application details, and then use its recipes and middleware to protect routes and manage user sessions. It depends on cryptographic libraries (pycryptodome, PyJWT), email delivery (aiosmtplib, twilio), phone number handling (phonenumbers), and standard utilities like pydantic and httpx for HTTP communication.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a Python web application and want to outsource authentication to SuperTokens. The SDK is actively maintained, has low install friction, uses a permissive license, and integrates with popular frameworks. Install it only if you have a SuperTokens core service running or plan to use SuperTokens' managed offering; the SDK alone cannot authenticate users without that backend."},"id":"supertokens-python","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/supertokens-python","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/supertokens-python.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/supertokens-python/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"supertokens-python","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"SuperTokens SDK for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":277237,"position":8151,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.31.3"}
