Python wrapper for the GnuTLS library

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.
