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. + </longdescription> + <upstream> + <remote-id type="pypi">python-gnutls</remote-id> + </upstream> +</pkgmetadata> |
