plexcryptool/README.md

plexcryptool

A collection of tools for cryptography uses.

Hybrid Repository

This Repository uses a combination of python and rust code through pyo3 rust bindings. The reason for this is that python is a tool dynamic language, screwing around with datatypes a bit too much for my liking.

Compiling

Parts of the python scripts in this repository use my library plexcryptool, which is implemented in Rust. To compile follow this guide It boils down to the following steps:

• Install Rust, preferably through rustup, as that is the official Rust distribution. Your package manager might still be fine.
• Make sure you use the right Python version. I made this with Python 3.11 and PyO3 requires at least Python 3.7
• Create a virtual environment in the root of the repository. I used python -m venv .venv for this. Activate the venv.
• Install maturin pip install maturin --user
• compile the plexcryptool module using maturin develop -r

Thats it!
