============ python-xtea3

Python wrapper to call xtea1/2/3 C implementations

The first release

Base

NOTE: this package uses code got from http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/XTEA

Small package embedding open code of XTEA encoding/decoding algorithms branch to python.

Code example:

import xtea
print xtea.decipher(xtea.encipher('Hello XTEA!','1234567890123456'),'1234567890123456')
print xtea.decipher(xtea.encipher('Hello XTEA!','1234567890123456',algorithm=2),'1234567890123456',algorithm=2)
print xtea.decipher(xtea.encipher('Hello XTEA!','1234567890123456'*2,algorithm=3),'1234567890123456'*2,algorithm=3)
print xtea.decipher(xtea.encipher('Hello XTEA!','1234567890123456'*2,algorithm=3,endian='>'),'1234567890123456'*2,algorithm=3,endian='>')

See also docstrings of encipher/decipher functions.

IMPORTANT NOTE 1: the decoded string may differ from encoded one because of zero-padding encoded buffer before encoding. The zero-padding is used to fit a string to be encoded in bounds of algorithm input data.

IMPORTANT NOTE 2: use explicit endian parameter (the endian flag of struct package) for platform-independent encoding.

Install

sudo pip install git+git://github.com/nnseva/python-xtea3.git@master#egg=xtea

Roadmap

Nothing important while no any more algorithm extentions
