Shibboleth /is/ an implementation of SAML and related protocols and
standards. As such you don't implement Shibboleth, you deploy (install
and configure) it.

Also unless your product it some identity management or authentication
or enterprise security product meant for deployment within an
organization (or hosted elsewhere) you're probably looking for
integration with the Shibboleth Service Provider, not the Identity
Provider.

Depending on what your product does and which parts you need
Shibboleth might be an option. Without knowing anything about your
product Roland's pysaml2 might seem like a better fit, though.
