[Cryptography-dev] Recipe for files?

[Glyph]

Equally unfortunate:

NotImplementedError: deadlock is Python 3 only, and is only known to run on 3.2 or above.

The general consensus has been that the project would prefer to implement an existing spec rather than creating one so for now I’m afraid creating your own is probably the “best” path unless you’re familiar with a standardized format that does this?

Ideally a spec similar to https://github.com/fernet/spec <https://github.com/fernet/spec> could come out of it.
