It supports Python 2.6 or newer, all Python 3 versions and PyPy. +PyCryptodome is a fork of PyCrypto. + +PyCryptodome is not a wrapper to a separate C library like OpenSSL. To the +largest possible extent, algorithms are implemented in pure Python. Only the +pieces that are extremely critical to performance (e.g. block ciphers) are +implemented as C extensions. |
