Is this project Abandoned?

[urjeetpatel]

Hi,
The Last commit on this project is from Oct 2017.
Based on the number of issues and open Pull requests this project looks abandoned to me/

Can a maintainer confirm the case?

[dillonfromdallas]

I've just emailed Blimp. Will update if they respond.

[ksitko]

Any word on the status of the project?

[erayaydin]

Are there any status change? If not, we should move project. What is latest status?

[wakaryry]

Any word ?

[urjeetpatel]

I don't have a response from them.

could try django-rest-framework-simplejwt.

[dillonfromdallas]

Yep - still no response to my email after 5 weeks. I think we can call this one dead.

@getblimp, @jpadilla or @jlhernandez1388 can you please let us know if the project has any future? I noticed that in the django rest framework website they suggest another library now for jwt, maybe this has to do with lack of maintenance in the last year

This project had a lot of potential!

[Alex3917]

@kylecribbs It works fine. If it stops working in the future I'm sure someone will just fork it. No one is going to spend a month rewriting their auth system rather than just spending five minutes to fix any issues that crop up with Python 3.8 or whatever.

@Alex3917 it doesn’t support Django 2.0. Django 3 is coming out next year with 1.11 becoming end of life.. So it’s pretty safe to call this dead.

https://github.com/Styria-Digital/django-rest-framework-jwt is a drop-in updated replacement fork

The maintainer is willing to transfer ownership (including new pypi project under same name, etc). Please get in touch with him or check the newest status issue to help.

Thank you all for this conversation. I've just posted an update #484
