It handles the serialization of pass information (store cards, boarding passes, etc.), embeds required images (icon, logo), and signs the archive using Apple-issued certificates.\n\nThe package is a Python 3 fork of an earlier passbook library and requires manual setup: you must obtain an Apple Pass Type ID from the iOS Provisioning Portal, export certificates from Apple, convert them to .pem format using OpenSSL, and then use the library to construct and sign the final .pkpass file. It has no runtime dependencies but is tightly coupled to Apple's certificate infrastructure.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2018, no commits since), untested on modern Python versions, and offers no maintenance or security updates. For new projects, use an actively maintained alternative or Apple's official PassKit APIs. Only consider this if you have legacy code already depending on it and cannot migrate."},"id":"wallet-py3k","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/wallet-py3k","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/wallet-py3k.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/wallet-py3k/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-12-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"wallet-py3k","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Passbook file generator"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":205310,"position":9590,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.4"}
