Windows distro and PyCrypto

DiapDealer · 10-12-2010, 05:06 PM

Can someone tell if pycrypto has always been distributed with the Windows flavor of Calibre? If not, what was the first version of Calibre that included it?

pycrypto has never been distributed with calibre as far as I know.

I find it under the './Lib/site-packages/' folder of Calibre's install directory (I've never installed anything there). The pycrypto library directory is included in sys.path when queried from a Windows plugin.

Must have been left over from some of my experiments. I have no idea when it sneaked in there.

I'm not complaining. I was just wondering if it could be counted on (from a certain version onward) for plugin development reasons.

well I don't plan to remove it, just in case something depends on it, but I really have no idea of when it was first added, probably 0.6.17, but that is a guess. You can look on sourceforge for older versions and check.

Also I don't think it will be included in the OS X and linux binary builds.

Yeah, I've not seen it on the Linux or Mac builds. But that's ok, because Windows has always been the problem child. Linux and Mac OS's come with libcrypto that can achieve many of the same things as pycrypto.

Thanks for the info!
