Re: [Passwordsafe-devel] Python Library For Password Safe

[ronys <ro...@gm...>]

Hi,

 

Thanks to Paul for both his code and his efforts to release this as Open
Source to the community.

 

As PasswordSafe is released under a different Open Source License than
GPLv2, I've decided not to add it under the main pwsafe project.

Instead, I've set up a public Git repository with the code at
<https://github.com/ronys/pypwsafe> https://github.com/ronys/pypwsafe. I'll
be happy to host any discussion of Paul's project on this mailing list, at
least until the traffic justifies a split into separate lists :-)

 

Cheers,

 

  Rony

Subject: [Passwordsafe-devel] Python Library For Password Safe

 

All, 

 

A pure-Python library that can read and write Password Safe v3 files has
been released under the GPLv2 by Symantec. Attached is a copy of the latest
code. 

 

I’d like to either host this as a “sub-project” out of the Password Safe
project or create a new SourceForge/Google Code project for this library.
Thoughts? 

 

There are a few known issues: 

 

1)      HMAC validation fails with some recent versions of Password Safe. I
suspect this is an issue with the support for bug 1812081. 

2)      Some of the more recent record properties aren’t supported

3)      Lack of documentation

 

I intend to update the library to correct these issues as time allows. 

 

I can be reached with any thoughts, ideas, or concerns via paul at gpmidi
net. 

 

Best Regards,
