PySAML2 is a pure python implementation of SAML Version 2 Standard. It contains all necessary pieces for building a SAML2 service provider or an identity provider. The distribution contains examples of both. Originally written to work in a WSGI environment there are extensions that allow you to use it with other frameworks.

You can install PySAML2 through pip:
pip install pysaml2
PySAML2 works with the xmlsec binary.
Notice that support for xmlsec 1 1.3 was added with v7.4.2.
xmlsec should be readily available in most Linux distributions:
$ apt-get install xmlsec1
$ dnf install xmlsec1-openssl
$ yum install xmlsec1-openssl
$ pacman -S xmlsec
...
and on MacOS through homebrew
$ brew install libxmlsec1
