It provides TSaslClientTransport, which sits between a raw socket and Thrift's protocol layer, negotiating SASL authentication before RPC traffic flows. The package depends on pure-sasl for SASL mechanism implementation, six for Python 2/3 compatibility, and thrift itself.\n\nThe package is designed for applications that need to authenticate Thrift clients against SASL-enabled servers\u2014typically in enterprise or Hadoop-adjacent environments. However, it has been abandoned since 2021-05-26 and receives no maintenance, so it carries risk if you encounter bugs or need support for newer Thrift or Python versions.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining legacy code already using thrift-sasl. The package is abandoned (last release 2021-05-26, no commits since), and modern alternatives or direct Thrift security mechanisms are preferable. If you must use it, treat it as a maintenance burden and plan for eventual replacement."},"id":"thrift-sasl","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/thrift-sasl","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/thrift-sasl.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/thrift-sasl/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-05-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"thrift-sasl","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Thrift SASL Python module that implements SASL transports for Thrift (`TSaslClientTransport`)."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":11626242,"position":1376,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.3"}
