python-doubleratchet
A Python implementation of the Double Ratchet algorithm.
Installation
Install the latest release using pip (pip install DoubleRatchet) or manually from source by running pip install . in the cloned repository.
Differences to the Specification
This library implements the core of the Double Ratchet specification and includes a few of the recommended algorithms. This library does not currently offer sophisticated decision mechanisms for the deletion of skipped message keys. Skipped message keys are only deleted when the maximum amount is reached, and old keys are deleted from the storage in FIFO order. There is no time-based or event-based deletion.
Testing, Type Checks and Linting
python-doubleratchet uses pytest as its testing framework, mypy for static type checks and both pylint and Flake8 for linting. All tests/checks can be run locally with the following commands:
$ pip install --upgrade .[test,lint]
$ mypy doubleratchet/ examples/ tests/
$ pylint doubleratchet/ examples/ tests/
$ flake8 doubleratchet/ examples/ tests/
$ pytest
