| 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. |
