Outdated version of cryptography? about alexa-skills-kit-sdk-for-python HOT 5 CLOSED

Hitting the same issue also.

from alexa-skills-kit-sdk-for-python.

I'm surprised an official library is so outdated... perhaps priorities lie elsewhere or the focus is to get people on Lambda?

In either case, FWIW, I solved this by siloing our Alexa skill in its own environment and talking to our primary systems via an API we built... solved it in a few hours. Happy about it. I actually left things in Flask-Ask because I was able to do that (we built the skill there)... I'd still like to use this library, though, to take advantage of a few other things (namely, the Alexa device notifications)

Thanks and I agree! Specifically, the use case for me is that I would really like to integrate this into our Django application, but the Twilio module requires a newer version of the Cryptology module, and the ask-sdk requires an older version. I have also solved it for now by deploying an independent skill to Lambda, but as you mentioned, I would prefer this to be deeply integration with our Django platform to take advantage of the many other features. Hopefully it can be updated soon!

seems like this is already fixed
