Is suds healthy, maintained, and safe?
No. suds looks abandoned and still has open security advisories.
The verdict
OSPulse scores suds at 24/100 (high risk), computed deterministically from live PyPI release history, and the OSV vulnerability database. No. suds looks abandoned and still has open security advisories.
The last sign of life was 24 August 2024, more than 2 years ago (751 days). By any practical measure the package looks abandoned. Historically it released far more frequently, so the current silence reads as a genuine collapse in velocity rather than a natural gap. PyPI doesn't expose a reliable maintainer count, so bus-factor isn't scored here. Treat maintenance depth as unknown rather than assumed.
OSV lists 2 known advisories for suds, of assorted severity. Review whether your version is in the affected range and whether a fixed release is available before depending on it. Each advisory is listed with its OSV/GHSA identifier below.
Treat suds as a liability to manage: review the evidence above, pin or patch, and evaluate alternatives. This is a one-time snapshot of a single package. Real projects depend on dozens or hundreds of packages, and any one of them can drift or be compromised between releases. Run your own requirements.txt through the free health check, or have OSPulse monitor your whole dependency tree continuously.
