Description: purepy-remctl
        =============
        
        This is a pure Python implementation of a [remctl](http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/remctl/)
        protocol version 3 client. The interface mostly follows the
        [Python C binding](http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/remctl/python-readme.html) which is
        packaged with the original remctl software distribution, with a few exceptions:
        
        * There is no `Remctl.set_ccache(ccache)` method, there is a `Remctl.set_credential(credential)`
          method instead. `set_credential()` accepts an (initiator) `gssapi.Credential` object from the
          [python-gssapi](https://github.com/sigmaris/python-gssapi) package, which will be used as a
          credential to initiate the GSSAPI security context with the remctl server. This allows using, for
          example, a delegated credential to perform remctl operations without needing to store the
          delegated credential in a credential cache.
        * There is no `_remctl` module providing a low-level wrapper of the C API.
        * There is no support for the remctl protocol version 1. Only version >= 2 servers are supported.
        
        The motivation for writing this module instead of using the existing Python bindings to the remctl
        C client library was:
        
        * To be able to use delegated credentials obtained from the python-gssapi package in an
          application to perform remctl operations.
        * To avoid performing blocking socket operations in the C library, so that remctl operations can be
          performed in an application using [gevent](http://gevent.org) without blocking (if the `socket`
          module is patched by gevent)
