It is optional for some crypto methods, however other methods
unconditionally depend on them, such as
tlslite.api.X509().getCommonName():
def getCommonName(self):
"""Get the Subject's Common Name from the certificate.
The cryptlib_py module must be installed in order to use this
function.
[...]
"""
import cryptlib_py
import array
From a packager's point of view this is rather hard to solve, because
dependencies of tlslite are dependent on the context of the application
*using* tlslite. The only safe way is to hardcode that dependency.
I am currently working around that issue by not adding tlslite as a hard
dependency of kaa-base. This will pose a problem as soon as any Freevo
actually uses those TLS parts. If none of the other TLS python bindings
provide the needed features (which I have full understanding for), I
can still either remove non-x86(_64) support, or remove those parts
using tlslite through kaa.
If you mention such plugins in an announcement, that'd be appreciated!
