pure-python-otr is a pure Python implementation of the OTR protocol (Off-the-Record encryption, see the OTR website for more information). This gives developers the flexibility to implement OTR encryption for their Python-based Instant Messaging clients. A gajim-otr plugin will be available in the next major Gajim release to provide IM encryption independently of the underlying chat protocol.

This package also includes the command line utility ‘convertkey’ for converting the old OTR file format to the new one.
