Python wrapper for the GNUTLS library
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
