It extracts and interprets the structure of TLS protocol messages, making it useful for security tools, protocol analysis, and SSL/TLS inspection workflows. The package has no runtime dependencies, keeping it minimal and easy to integrate.\n\nThe library is used by SSLyze, a popular SSL/TLS scanning tool, indicating it is battle-tested for real-world TLS analysis. It supports current Python versions and has been maintained since 2017, though recent development activity has slowed\u2014the last release was 2025-04-06 and the repository shows a last commit of 2025-10-19.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to parse TLS records in Python. The package is stable, has no dependencies, and is proven in production use. However, verify the license terms in the repository first, and check whether it supports the TLS versions your use case requires. The aging maintenance status means security updates may be slow; monitor the repository for any critical fixes."},"id":"tls-parser","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tls-parser","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tls-parser.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/tls-parser/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-04-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"tls-parser","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Small library to parse TLS records."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":143834,"position":11166,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.2"}
