Availability
------------

This is the source distribution of Versile Python for python
v3.x. The latest version of this software can be downloaded
from https://versile.com/

Versile Python comes in two distributions, one distribution for python
2.6 and 2.7 and a second distribution for python 3.x. The two
distributions share a common codebase and the 3.x distribution is
generated from the 2.x codebase with the python '2to3' migration tool.


Installation
------------

This package comes with a distutils installation script. To install
execute the following command in a shell:

    "python setup.py install"

Note the command may have to be executed with administrative
privileges (e.g. sudo or a root shell) and depending on setup a full
path to the executable may need to be provided. Also ensure the python
executable is compatible with python versions v3.x.

It is strongly recommended to also download and install PyCrypto
(https://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto/) if available on the
platform. When present it will significantly speed up cryptographic
methods and enable additional ciphers such as AES.

For testing or user-specific installations consider using virtualenv,
see http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv
