The default attribute converter used by PySAML2 does read all attributes as strings. This breaks Django sample projects with SP (https://github.com/peppelinux/djangosaml2) and IdP (https://github.com/OTA-Insight/djangosaml2idp) since boolean user attributes are expected to be either True or False in Python, but are rendered as "true" and "false".
I added a code which checks the
{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance}type
attribute on the AttributeValue tags, and converts the values accordingly (my current implementation suppots numbers and booleans only).
