I want to thank Vangelis Koukis for motivating me into developing this project.

This is a project to create C bindings for cryptodev in Python.
The bindings are basically a Python module named cryptodev (under crypto).
The module contains two Python files: ioctl.py and cryptodev.py translated from ioctl.h and cryptodev.h respectively.
To use the module just import cryptodev (e.g. from cryptodev import *).
You can find examples/tests under tests folder. Those tests were originally written into C by the authors of cryptodev. The tests that exist in this repository are basically a translation from C to Python.

You need the cryptodev module installed (link provided below).
Navigate into the tests folder and run the script run_tests.py as:
python run_tests.py.
Note that you must run the script using python 2.7 version and above (now supporting python 3).

You can find cryptodev at: https://github.com/cryptodev-linux/cryptodev-linux/
