| Alex Gaynor | 8d7fb75 | 2013-08-06 19:30:47 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | ``cryptography`` is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and |
| 11 | recipes to Python developers. |

| 13 | It is currently in early development and isn't recommended for general usage |
| 14 | yet. It targets Python 2.6-2.7, Python 3.2+, as well as PyPy. |

| 22 | ------------------------------------ |

| 24 | None of the existing ones work on PyPy, and many of them are unmaintained or |
| 25 | are based around very poor implementations of algorithms (i.e ones with known |
| 26 | side-channel attacks). |
