You may use this package under the + Transitive Grace Period Public Licence, version 1.0 or, at your option, any + later version. (You may choose to use this package under the terms of either + licence, at your option.) See the file COPYING.GPL for the terms of the GNU + General Public License, version 2. See the file COPYING.TGPPL.html for the + terms of the Transitive Grace Period Public Licence, version 1.0. + + The Ed25519 code comes from the python-ed25519 distribution ¹_, for which the + basic C code is in the public domain, and the Python bindings are under the + MIT license. See COPYING.ed25519 for details. + + BUILDING + -------- + + To build it run "./setup.py build". To test it run "./setup.py test". To + install it into your system run "./setup.py install". To create a binary + package run "./setup.py bdist_egg". + + If "./setup.py test" doesn't print out "PASSED" and exit with exit code 0 + then there is something seriously wrong. Do not use this build of + pycryptopp. Please report the error to the tahoe-dev mailing list ²_. + + DOCUMENTATION + ------------- + + The documentation is in the docstrings. From a command-line, use "pydoc + pycryptopp", "pydoc pycryptopp.cipher", and so on. From within a Python + interpreter use "help(pycryptopp)", "help(pycryptopp.cipher)", + "help(pycryptopp.cipher.aes)" and so on. + + The documentation for pycryptopp.publickey.ed25519 is in README.ed25519, + adapted from the upstream python-ed25519 library. + + CONTACT + ------- + + Please post to the tahoe-dev mailing list ²_ with comments about this + package. + + BOOK REVIEW + ----------- + + If you are not already acquainted with how to use modern cryptography, buy a + copy of Ferguson, Schneier, and Kohno "Cryptography Engineering" and read it. + It is easy going and will increase your understanding greatly. + + ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS + ---------------- + + Thanks to Wei Dai and the contributors to Crypto++, Andrew M.
