------------------------
This is an implementation of ASN.1 types and codecs in Python programming
language. It has been first written to support particular protocol (SNMP)
but then generalized to be suitable for a wide range of protocols
based on ASN.1 specification.
FEATURES
--------
* Generic implementation of ASN.1 types (X.208)
* Fully standard compliant BER/CER/DER codecs
* 100% Python, works with Python 1.5 and later
* MT-safe
MISFEATURES
-----------
* No ASN.1 compiler (by-hand ASN.1 spec compilation into Python code required)
* Codecs are not restartable
INSTALLATION
------------
The pyasn1 package uses distutils for installation:
$ tar zxf pyasn1-0.0.6a.tar.gz
$ cd pyasn1-0.0.6a
$ python setup.py install
$ cd test
$ python suite.py # to make sure everything works alright
OPERATION
---------
Perhaps a typical use would involve [by-hand] compilation of your ASN.1
specification into pyasn1-backed Python code at your application.
For more information on pyasn1 APIs, please, refer to the doc/notes.html
file in the distribution.
Also refer to example modules -- one of them (x509.py) handles SSL
certificate format.
