============
Installation
============

.. index:: Google App Engine; compatibility

Supported Platforms
===================
Passlib requires Python 3.5 or newer.
It is known to work with the following Python implementations:

.. rst-class:: float-right without-title

.. warning::

    **Passlib 1.8 dropped support for Python 2.x, 3.3, and 3.4**;
    If you need support for Python 2.6 - 3.4, use the Passlib 1.7.x series.

* CPython 3 -- v3.5 or newer.
* PyPy3 -- v5.3 or newer.

Passlib should work with all operating systems and environments,
as it contains builtin fallbacks for almost all OS-dependant features.
Google App Engine is supported as well.

.. versionchanged:: 1.8

    Support for Python 2.x, 3.3, and 3.4 was dropped.
    Jython no longer listed, until it has a Python 3 compatible for testing.

.. versionchanged:: 1.7

    Support for Python 2.5, 3.0-3.2 was dropped.
    Support for PyPy 1.x was dropped.

.. _optional-libraries:

Optional Libraries
==================
* `bcrypt <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bcrypt>`_

   If installed, this will be used to handle :class:~passlib.hash.bcrypt` and
   :class:`~passlib.hash.bcrypt_sha256` hashes.  If your system lacks :func:`crypt.crypt()`
   support for bcrypt hashes, this library is *required* in order for passlib to provide
   bcrypt support.

   Use ``pip install passlib[bcrypt]`` to get the recommended bcrypt setup.

* `argon2_cffi  <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/argon2_cffi>`_ (>= 18.2.0), or
  `argon2pure  <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/argon2pure>`_ (>= 1.3)

   If any of these packages are installed, they will be used to provide
   support for the :class:`~passlib.hash.argon2` hash algorithm.
   `argon2_cffi  <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/argon2_cffi>`_  is currently the recommended
   option.

   Use ``pip install passlib[argon2]`` to get the recommended argon2 setup.

* `Cryptography <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cryptography>`_

   If installed, will be used to enable encryption of TOTP secrets for storage
   (see :mod:`passlib.totp`).

   Use ``pip install passlib[totp]`` to get the recommended TOTP setup.

* `fastpbkdf2 <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fastpbkdf2>`_

   If installed, will be used to greatly speed up :func:`~passlib.crypto.digest.pbkdf2_hmac`,
   and any pbkdf2-based hashes.

* `SCrypt <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/scrypt>`_ (>= 0.6)

   If installed, this will be used to provide support for the :class:`~passlib.hash.scrypt`
   hash algorithm.  If not installed, a MUCH slower builtin reference implementation will be used.

.. versionchanged:: 1.8

    Dropped support for  ``py-bcrypt`` and ``bcryptor`` backends.

.. versionchanged:: 1.7

    Added fastpbkdf2, cryptography, argon2_cffi, argon2pure, and scrypt support.
    Removed M2Crypto support.

Installation Instructions
=========================

.. rst-class:: float-right without-title

.. caution::

  All PyPI releases are signed with the gpg key
  `4D8592DF4CE1ED31 <http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x4D8592DF4CE1ED31>`_.

To install from PyPi using :command:`pip`::

    pip install passlib

..
    As noted above, you can ensure you have feature-specific extras installed
    via any of::

        pip install passlib[argon2]
        pip install passlib[bcrypt]
        pip install passlib[totp]

To install from the source using :command:`setup.py`::

    python setup.py install

.. index::
    pair: environmental variable; PASSLIB_TEST_MODE

.. rst-class:: html-toggle

Testing
=======
Passlib contains a comprehensive set of unittests (about 38% of the total code),
which provide nearly complete coverage, and verification of the hash
algorithms using multiple external sources (if detected at runtime).

All unit tests are contained within the :mod:`passlib.tests` subpackage,
and are designed to be run using the
`Nose <http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose>`_ unit testing library.

Once Passlib and Nose have been installed, the main suite of tests may be run using::

    nosetests --tests passlib.tests

By default, this runs the main battery of tests, but omits some additional ones
(such as internal cross-checks, and mock-testing of features not provided natively by the host OS).
To run these tests as well, set the following environmental variable::

    PASSLIB_TEST_MODE="full" nosetests --tests passlib.tests

To run a quick check to confirm just basic functionality, with a pared-down set of tests::

    PASSLIB_TEST_MODE="quick" nosetests --tests passlib.tests

Tests may also be run via ``setup.py test`` or the included ``tox.ini`` file.
The ``tox.ini`` file is used to test passlib before each release, 
and contains a number different environment setups.
These tests require `tox <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tox>`_ 2.5 or later.

Building the Documentation
==========================
The latest copy of this documentation should always be available
online at `<https://passlib.readthedocs.io>`_.
If you wish to generate your own copy of the documentation,
you will need to:

1. Download the Passlib source, extract it, and ``cd`` into the source directory.
2. Install all the dependencies required via ``pip install -e .[build_docs]``.
3. Run :samp:`python setup.py build_sphinx`.
4. Once Sphinx completes its run, point a web browser to the file at :samp:`{SOURCE}/build/sphinx/html/index.html`
   to access the Passlib documentation in html format.
