        Introduction and Licence
        ========================
        
        pycryptopp is a python wrapper around a few algorithms from the Crypto++ and
        python-Ed25519 libraries.
        
        It lives at https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/pycryptopp
        
        LICENCE
        -------
        
        You may use this package under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or,
        at your option, any later version. 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. Kuchling for
        his "pycrypto" library which inspired this one, Brian Warner for help on
        Python packaging questions, python-Ed25519, inspiration, and a million other
        things besides, Greg Hazel and Samuel Neves for Windows porting and fixing
        bugs, and Daniel J. Bernstein for Ed25519.
