Description:

MyProxyClient 2.1.1

MyProxy Client Package
This a pure Python implementation of a client to the MyProxy Credential
Management Server (http://grid.ncsa.uiuc.edu/myproxy/). It provides both a
Python API and a command line interface.

i.e. MyProxy C client libraries are not required for this package.

It uses pyOpenSSL to make an SSL connection to the server following the
messaging interface as outlined in: http://grid.ncsa.uiuc.edu/myproxy/protocol/
The code is based on an original program myproxy_logon by Tom Uram of ANL.
Examples
These show how to retrieve a certificate bootstrapping trust in remote service:
API
>>> from myproxy.client import MyProxyClient
>>> myproxy_clnt = MyProxyClient(hostname="myproxy.somewhere.ac.uk")
>>> cert, private_key = myproxy_clnt.logon(username, password, bootstrap=True)

Command line interface
$ myproxyclient logon -s myproxy.somewhere.ac.uk -l <username> -o creds.pem -b

Releases

allow support for Python=3.12 via retirement of SafeConfigParser via #20 by Valeriu Predoi and checked by Alan Iwi
added Python package components (basic unit test, Github Action that builds and uploads the package) via #22 by Valeriu Predoi and Bouwe Andela

Refactored package hierarchy - myproxy.client is now a package
fixed six package dependency

reporting the bug: https://github.com/cedadev/MyProxyClient/issues/12

some servers

2.0.0

Ported to Python 3. This version is dual compatible with Python 2 and 3.

Tested on CentOS 6.4
1.3.1

Fix to MyProxyClient.writeProxyFile and
MyProxyClient.readProxyFile to correctly pick-up overridden file
