It seems an issue with the installation of the dm.xmlsec.binding dependency.

There is a thread where devs share it experience installing it here:
#30

It seems there were releases on July of [dm.xmlsec.binding(https://pypi.org/project/dm.xmlsec.binding/#history).

I updated python-saml to use the latest, 1.3.7

[travisfraser]

Do you have plans for a new version of python-saml that has these changes?

[pitbulk]

with the latest version is working for you guys?

[travisfraser]

The last published version does not build since it still pulls in the old dm.xmlsec.binding version.

[pitbulk]

Released 2.4.2

@jafetmorales and @travisfraser Please verify now it works as expected

[jafetmorales]

@pitbulk Unfortunately, I still get the error. The problem is that I am using Python 3, so the parentheses is needed when printing something. The dependency dm.xmlsec.binding is only available for Python 2, and python-saml is available only for Python 2 as well. So porting of python-saml to Python 3 so that it works for people like me would require porting dm.xmlse.binding to Python 3 as well. But the guy who makes dm.xmlse.binding apparently does not have a repository anywhere. So he would need to have a repository, or we would need to post an unofficial version of dm.xmlse.binding that works on Python 3. Also, other issues might arise from other python-saml dependencies that we might need to solve to port it to Python 3.

[pitbulk]

If you use python3, then why are you not using python3-saml instead python-saml?

Code is compatible and it uses a different xmlsec library.

[jafetmorales]

My bad, that's in the third sentence of the README. This issue is closed.

[travisfraser]

We ended up going the python3-saml route even though we are on python 2. This combination works well.
