A lightweight, dependency-free Python library for defining and applying HTTP security headers across Python web frameworks via ASGI/WSGI middleware or response hooks. It offers safe default presets, builders for complex headers like Content-Security-Policy, and integrations for FastAPI, Django, Flask, and Shiny.

Use cases

• add security headers to a FastAPI app
• set Content-Security-Policy in Django
• apply HSTS headers across a Flask application
• centralize security header configuration instead of copy-pasting header strings
• add security headers via ASGI or WSGI middleware
• configure Permissions-Policy and Cross-Origin headers in Python web apps

When to choose

• you want one reusable security-header policy across multiple Python frameworks
• you prefer safe defaults with presets you can customize
• you need CSP or Permissions-Policy builders rather than hand-written header strings

When to avoid

• you need a full web application firewall or request-level attack detection
• headers are already managed centrally by your reverse proxy or CDN
• you need security tooling beyond HTTP response headers
