enigmapython 1.0.0

A simple yet faithful library to emulate different Enigma machines models using Python

Enigma Python library

About

Welcome to enigmapython, a Python package designed to emulate the legendary Enigma cryptographic machine used during World War II. enigmapython provides a faithful implementation of the Enigma machine, allowing users to explore and understand the workings of this historic device.

Key Features

• Flexible Configuration: enigmapython allows customization of the Enigma machine configuration, enabling users to experiment with different rotor settings, reflectors, and ring positions.
• Easy Extension: enigmapython is designed to be easily extensible, allowing developers to add new features or enhance the existing implementation.
• Simple yet faithful: don't be fooled by its simplicity; enigmapython implements 100% the algorithms of many Enigma machine models, allowing to decode a message that has been encoded by a real Enigma machine and also the contrary.
