This package provides a high level object oriented wrapper around libgnutls,
|
|
as well as low level bindings to the GNUTLS types and functions via ctypes.
|
|
The high level wrapper hides the details of accessing the GNUTLS library via
|
|
ctypes behind a set of classes that encapsulate GNUTLS sessions, certificates
|
|
and credentials and expose them to python applications using a simple API.
|
|
|
|
The package also includes a Twisted interface that has seamless intergration
|
|
with Twisted, providing connectTLS and listenTLS methods on the Twisted
|
|
reactor once imported (the methods are automatically attached to the reactor
|
|
by simply importing the GNUTLS Twisted interface module).
|
|
|
|
The high level wrapper is written using the GNUTLS library bindings that are
|
|
made available via ctypes. This makes the wrapper very powerful and flexible
|
|
as it has direct access to all the GNUTLS internals and is also very easy to
|
|
extend without any need to write C code or recompile anything.
