-This package provides an implementation of the Secure Remote
-Password protocol (SRP). SRP is a cryptographically
-strong authentication protocol for password-based, mutual
-authentication over an insecure network connection.
-
-It consists of 3 modules: A pure Python implementation, A ctypes +
-OpenSSL implementation, and a C extension module. The ctypes &
-extension modules are approximately 10-20x faster than the pure Python
-implementation and can take advantage of multiple CPUs. The extension
-module will be used if available, otherwise the library will fall back
-to the ctypes implementation followed by the pure Python
-implementation.
-
-Note: The test_srp.py script prints the performance timings for each
-combination of hash algorithm and prime number size. This may be of
-use in deciding which pair of parameters to use in the unlikely
-event that the defaults are unacceptable.
-
-Installation:
- python setup.py install
-
-Validity & Performance Testing:
- python setup.py build
- python test_srp.py
-
-Documentation:
- cd srp/doc
- sphinx-build -b html . <desired output directory>

-** Note: The Sphinx documentation system is easy-installable:
- easy-install sphinx
