Python library for implementing SAML2 based service provider and identity provider? [closed]

Answer 1

You can also take a look on https://github.com/onelogin/python-saml

Is also open source and the toolkit contains 2 demos: A django application and a Flask application.

Right now only works on Python 2.X

Edited 13/05/2015: There is a python 3.X version (beta, I'm still testing it): https://github.com/pitbulk/python3-saml (thanks bgaifullin for contributing it)

Edited 13/04/2016: Python 3.X version is stable and tested.

Answer 2

The pysaml2 project at launchpad is pretty active now. I think that you were sprinting on it at PyCon 2011. The pysaml2 package is included in Python package index (PyPi) and installable with easy_install / pip. The docs can be found at: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pysaml2

There is a related project for Django which can be found at PyPi: djangosaml2

The other project, python-saml2 on google code, seems to be a bit older and not so active.

I don't have any experience with the other ones.

I found another one: https://github.com/tachang/PySAML

The abbreviations pysaml2, PySAML and python-saml2, which refer to three different projects, are a bit confusing.

Update: 2020 Sep 29 (on behalf of @Umognog, thx)

• python-saml2 is OneLogins' implementation, details here https://github.com/onelogin/python-saml
• python3-saml supersedes python-saml2, details here: https://github.com/onelogin/python3-saml

Update: 2019 Apr 27 - Current status of the projects:

• PySAML - Not updated since 2009.
• pysaml2 - Is Python3 compatible and taken under the https://idpy.org/ project
• python-saml2 - Does not seem to exist on pypi. No references found
