* Package name : pycaptcha Version : 2.4 Upstream Author : Micah Dowty <micah at navi cx> * URL : http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyCAPTCHA/0.4 * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : collection of Python modules implementing CAPTCHAs This is the PyCAPTCHA package, a collection of Python modules implementing CAPTCHAs: automated tests that humans should pass, but current computer programs can't. These tests are often used for security. See http://www.captcha.net for more information and examples. This project was started because the CIA project, written in Python, needed a CAPTCHA to automate its user creation process safely. All existing implementations the author could find were written in Java or for the .NET framework, so a simple Python alternative was needed. Examples -------- Included are several example programs: - simple_example.py is a bare-bones example that just generates and displays an image. - http_example.py is a longer example that uses BaseHTTPServer to simulate a CAPTCHA's use in a web environment. Running this example and connecting to it from your web browser is a quick and easy way to see PyCAPTCHA in action - modpython_example.py is a version of http_example that runs from an Apache server equipped with a properly configured mod_python. Dependencies ------------ - Python 2.2.1 or later - the Python Imaging Library, required for visual CAPTCHAs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
