.....I'm also missing the rotor module and regret that something useful was warned about and now removed with no plugin replacement."Reed L. O'Brien" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:
I see rotor was removed for 2.4 and the docs say use an AES module provided separately... Is there a standard module that works alike or an AES module that works alike but with better encryption?
If you mean a module in the distribution, the answer is no, for political reasons.
I had understood that this was because rotor was insecure, but you mention politics. Are other useful modules to suffer from politics?
What exactly are/were the political reasons for rotor removal?
I might add that the source for rotormodule is still easily obtainable and can be compiled trivially as an extension for Python-2.4. Does the Python community take a position on the sources of removed modules?
