PySAML2 is a pure python implementation of SAML2. It contains all
necessary pieces for building a SAML2 service provider or an identity provider.
The distribution contains examples of both.
Originally written to work in a WSGI environment there are extensions that
allow you to use it with other frameworks.

Testing
=======
PySAML2 uses the `pytest <http://doc.pytest.org/en/latest/>`_ framework for
testing. To run the tests on your system's version of python 

1. Create and activate a `virtualenv <https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/>`_.
2. Inside the virtualenv, install the dependencies needed for testing :code:`pip install -r tests/test_requirements.txt`
3. Run the tests :code:`py.test tests`

To run tests in multiple python environments, you can use
`pyenv <https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv>`_ with `tox <https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_.


Please contribute!
==================

To help out, you could:

1. Test and report any bugs or other difficulties.
2. Implement missing features.
3. Write more unit tests.
