decentralized-p2p 0.0.2

A small package built for my cs50p course. It includes a Peer module which provides straight forward methods to exchange messages and create/join networks

CS50P peer to peer network

A simple system to handle networking through python sockets, in a p2p style

Installation

Download PyPI library

  pip install decentralized-p2p

Import the peer class in your main file

  from peer import Peer

Usage/Examples

Declare a peer object with:

my_peer = Peer()

To create a new network, use the Peer.create_network method. You will need to specify your username, password, ip and eventual signature and encryption keys

my_peer.create_network("Username", "Password", "192.168.1.2", "None", "None")

In another file, call the sign up method to connect to the newly created network:

my_peer_2.signup("SecondUsername", "SecondPassword", "192.168.1.2")

Now you can send and receive messages respectivly with the .send() and .read() methods.

Features

• Asyncronous message send and receive
• Totally decentralized system, allows for wide horizontal expansion
• Asymmetrix signature implemented through ecdsa
• Asymmetric encryption implemented using fernet

Running Tests

To run tests, run the following command

  pytest test_project.py
