HTTP security headers for Python web applications

Secure is a new Python library for managing HTTP security headers with safe defaults and framework-agnostic middleware support. It provides configurable presets and a unified API to prevent security header inconsistencies across Python web applications. The library supports major frameworks like FastAPI, Django, and Flask without external dependencies.

Background

HTTP security headers are critical for web application security, preventing attacks like XSS and clickjacking. Many Python frameworks require manual header configuration, leading to potential security gaps.
