Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: I've taken a quick look at the source tree (there doesn't seem to be any separate docs) and here is my opinion: - the evp.py API is too low-level (it's a one-to-one mapping to the OpenSSL C API); we would want at least some kind of object-oriented abstraction around the basic concepts (such as in the hashlib and ssl modules) rather than passing opaque pointers around - the other APIs (cipher.py, envelope.py, signature.py) look conversely too high-level, since they focus on specific use cases and make some arbitrary choices for the user (for example, envelope.py imposes AES-192)
By the way, the use of function signature annotations to mirror C APIs as Python APIs through ctypes is nice, perhaps you should upload it as a separate library on PyPI :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8998> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
