 - 
 - ``cryptography`` is a package which provides cryptographic recipes and
 - primitives to Python developers.  Our goal is for it to be your "cryptographic
 - standard library". It supports Python 2.6-2.7, Python 3.4+, and PyPy 5.3+.
 - 
 - ``cryptography`` includes both high level recipes and low level interfaces to
 - common cryptographic algorithms such as symmetric ciphers, message digests, and
 - key derivation functions. For example, to encrypt something with
 - ``cryptography``'s high level symmetric encryption recipe:
 - 
 - .. code-block:: pycon
 - 
 -     >>> from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
 -     >>> # Put this somewhere safe!
 -     >>> key = Fernet.generate_key()
 -     >>> f = Fernet(key)
 -     >>> token = f.encrypt(b"A really secret message. Not for prying eyes.")
 -     >>> token
 -     '...'
 -     >>> f.decrypt(token)
 -     'A really secret message. Not for prying eyes.'
 - 
 - You can find more information in the `documentation`_.
 - 
 - You can install ``cryptography`` with:
 - 
 - .. code-block:: console
 - 
 -     $ pip install cryptography
 - 
 - For full details see `the installation documentation`_.

 - 
 - If you run into bugs, you can file them in our `issue tracker`_.
 - 
 - We maintain a `cryptography-dev`_ mailing list for development discussion.
 - 
 - You can also join ``#cryptography-dev`` on Freenode to ask questions or get
 - involved.
