Hi all, As we previewed in August [0] we're planning to incorporate Rust code into pyca/cryptography. I'm thrilled to announce that we just landed a patch that starts us down that path:
https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/commit/c84d6ee0605645a24fd93c436967ee2519aa586a As a reminder, the schedule for this is: - The 3.4 release will include a Rust extension module, which is built by default. It is not required for cryptography to work, and can be disabled at build time with an environment variable. - The 3.5 release will include a Rust extension module, without which cryptography will not work. For all releases, users who consume our wheels from PyPI will not need to make any changes. Users who built cryptography from source will need to ensure they have a Rust toolchain available. For users who build or redistribute cryptography, we strongly suggest that you use the time before our 3.4 release to ensure you have a Rust toolchain installed, and verify that building cryptography from source in git works for you: https://cryptography.io/en/latest/installation.html#rust Happy holidays, Alex [0]: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/cryptography-dev/2020-August/000976.html -- All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good people to do nothing. _______________________________________________ Cryptography-dev mailing list Cryptography-dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cryptography-dev
