Status of python-saml vs python3-saml?

akx opened this issue 3 years ago · 3 comments

Considering python3-saml apparently has support for Python 2.7 too (for now, anyway?) – see the links below, what is the fate or status of this library?

https://github.com/onelogin/python3-saml/blob/174ecfaf6f69c0ac13087b8233c293072b271742/setup.py#L19

python3-saml is the recommended library.

Should this repository then be e.g. archived, or a new version be released with a DeprecationWarning telling people to use the other version?

You already have this warning at the top of the README of python-saml:

Python 2 was deprecated on January 1, 2020. We recommend to migrate your project
to Python 3 and use python3-saml
