Is this project unmaintained?

[balloob]

Observations:

• no commits in 2 years
• lots of stale PRs
• It does not install under newer versions of PIP Fix setup install for py37 #135
• It still uses the fork python-jose-cryptodome, while python-jose in the meanwhile has been updated to work with various backends.
• Even approved PRs are not getting merged Updated README example, missing a comma. #128

It's a real bummer as using raw boto3 for cognito is really painful.

@shughes-uk would you have any samples of using raw boto3 for cognito (or pointing me in the right direction)?

currently, I am using warrant to get a Cognito user pool id token and that works well.

just in case I may needo do that wthout warrant in the future

[balloob]

@ffiore1 Just look at the warrant source code 🤷‍♂

The problem is not the interaction with boto, it's the interactions with 3rd party libs etc.

@balloob I'm not use to this but what's the proper procedure in that case ?

Did someone try to reach the current maintainer ?

[balloob]

If you want to pick up the project, I generally advice people to:

• reach out to maintainer to see whats up. Ask if you can:
  • be added as a maintainer
  • transfer the project to your account
• If you can't reach the maintainer or the maintainer doesn't like the previous options, you can fork it. In that case rename the project, don't just add a 2 to the name. You must respect the original license, but you can just build on top of it in your own account.

I stumbled across this issue and thought people might appreciate this post I wrote in 2018 re: Cognito and Python

https://www.integralist.co.uk/posts/cognito/

I include some Python abstraction code (here: https://www.integralist.co.uk/posts/cognito/#example-python-api-code) I wrote related to using boto3 (it might be of use to some people who are unsure of how to use Cognito).
