ooniauth-py 0.3.0

Python bindings for the userauth library: the anonymous credentials implementation used in OONI

ooniauth-py

This is the bindings library used to call the anonymous credentials library from Python land

We use this in our backend implement the anonymous credentials protocol in our API

Installation

You can install this library by running:

pip install ooniauth-py

Development requirements

These tools are required to contribute to this library

1. maturin: Is used to build the library itself, it's heavily used to develop this library

In order to use maturin, you need a virtual environment to manage the resulting Python package during development, see more details here

Testing installation

Run the Rust tests with:

cargo test

The Python extension-module linker mode is enabled only for Maturin builds. If you need to test against a specific Python interpreter, activate a virtualenv or set PYO3_PYTHON before running the tests. The virtualenv must point to a base Python installation which provides an embeddable shared library.

Usage

1. Create a ready-to-use .whl to import in python: make wheels

• Note: You will find the wheels file in: /userauth/ooniauth-py/wheels

2. Build the library and install it in a virtualenv for trying it in Python: make dev

• Note: Requires an active virtual environment to install the library

3. Run tests: make test
