There's a few advantages to this:
1) It's probably fast, OpenSSL, which typically backs hashlib, receives far
more attention for optimizaitons than PyCrypto.
2) It's the first step to supporting PyPy, where PyCrypto doesn't run.
Create constants for byte messages, implement asbytes so many methods can take Message and key objects directly and split get_string into get_text and get_binary. Also, change int handling to use mpint with a flag whenever the int is greater than 32 bits.
support py22, more or less
add roger binns' patches for supporting python 2.2. i hedged a bit on the
logging stuff and just added some trickery to let logging be stubbed out for
python 2.2. this changed a lot of import statements but i managed to avoid
hacking at any of the existing logging.
socket timeouts are required for the threads to notice when they've been
deactivated. worked around it by using the 'select' module on py22.
also fixed the sftp unit tests to cope with a password-protected private key.
fix MANIFEST.in, change version numbers to 0.9-doduo, fix LPGL notices
fixed MANIFEST.in to include the demo scripts, LICENSE, and ChangeLog.
upped everything to version 0.9-doduo.
fixed the copyright notice, and added the LGPL banner to the top of every
python file.
added public-key support to server mode, more docs
added public-key support to server mode (it can now verify a client signature)
and added a demo of that to the demo_server.py script (user_rsa_key). in the
process, cleaned up the API of PKey so that now it only has to know about
signing and verifying ssh2 blobs, and can be hashed and compared with other
keys (comparing & hashing only the public parts of the key). keys can also
be created from strings now too.
some more documentation and hiding private methods.
lots more documentation, and added Transport.connect()
renamed demo_host_key to demo_rsa_key. moved changelog to a separate file,
and indicated that future changelog entries should be fetched from tla.
tried to clean up "__all__" in a way that makes epydoc still work.
added lots more documentation, and renamed many methods and vars to hide
them as private non-exported API.
Transport's ModulusPack is now a static member, so it only has to be loaded
once, and can then be used by any future Transport object.
added Transport.connect(), which tries to wrap all the SSH2 negotiation and
authentication into one method. you should be able to create a Transport,
call connect(), and then create channels.
hook up server-side kex-gex; add more documentation
group-exchange kex should work now on the server side. it will only be
advertised if a "moduli" file has been loaded (see the -gasp- docs) so we
don't spend hours (literally. hours.) computing primes. some of the logic
was previously wrong, too, since it had never been tested.
fixed repr() string for Transport/BaseTransport. moved is_authenticated to
Transport where it belongs.
added lots of documentation (but still only about 10% documented). lots of
methods were made private finally.
fix up new paramiko/ folder.
moved SSHException to a new file (ssh_exception.py) and turned paramiko.py
into an __init__.py file. i'm still not entirely sure how this normally
works, so i may have done something wrong, but it's supposed to work the
same as before.
