Python Binding
========================================
-.. highlight:: python
-
-.. note::
-
- The Python binding should be considered alpha software, and the
- interfaces may change in the future.
-
-Botan includes a binding for Python, implemented using Boost.Python.
+.. versionadded:: 1.11.14
-As you can see, it is not currently documented, though there are a few
-examples under `src/scripts/examples`, such as RSA:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../../src/scripts/examples/rsa.py
-
-and EAX encryption using a passphrase:
+.. highlight:: python
-.. literalinclude:: ../../src/scripts/examples/cipher.py
+The Python binding is based on the `ffi` module of botan and the
+`ctypes` module of the Python standard library.
