Type Stubs for pysaml2
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, but with caution. Install if you are already using pysaml2 and want type checking support in a stable, older codebase. Do not install if you are using a recent version of pysaml2 or expect the stubs to stay current—the package is abandoned and will not track pysaml2 updates. The GPLv3 copyleft license also requires careful review if you plan to distribute your code.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.7 or later.
- Type checking requires a static type checker like mypy or pyright to be configured in your project.
- Installs with no runtime dependencies.

What it is and what it does
types-pysaml2 is a stub package that adds type annotations for the pysaml2 SAML authentication library. It allows developers using pysaml2 to get static type checking support in their IDE and type checkers like mypy, catching type errors before runtime. The package is explicitly marked as partial, covering only some of the functions and objects available in pysaml2, and contributions are welcome to expand coverage.
Since this is a pure stub package with no runtime dependencies, installation is lightweight and friction-free. However, the package is abandoned—the last release was 1306 days ago—meaning it will not track updates to pysaml2 itself, and type coverage gaps may persist or grow as pysaml2 evolves.
Use it for
- Add type checking to an existing pysaml2-based SAML authentication system without changing runtime behavior.
- Catch type mismatches in pysaml2 API calls during development using mypy or similar type checkers.
- Improve IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for pysaml2 objects and functions.
- Validate SAML client and server configuration code before deployment in a typed Python project.

Before you install
Installs with no runtime dependencies. However, the package is abandoned (last release 1306 days ago) and marked as Alpha, so type coverage may be incomplete and will not track future pysaml2 changes.
Requires Python 3.7 or later. Type checking requires a static type checker like mypy or pyright to be configured in your project.
