Prerequisites

To run this software you need:

• The python interpreter (tested with 2.1.3+, 2.2.3+ and 2.3+; you will need Python 2.2.x or newer if you want to run the GUI)
• The Python Crypto module (http://www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto.html)

Additionally, to run the GUI you will need:

• PyGTK 2 - The python bindings for the GTK Widget Set (http://www.daa.com.au/~james/software/pygtk/)
• libglade2-0

Running tests

The KedPM distribution contains unit tests. If you want, you can check the integrity of almost all KedPM components by running run_tests script in its root directory. After successfully passing all tests, you will see something like this:

.................................
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 33 tests in 1.040s
 
OK

If some of the tests fail, tell me about it. Send me the output of this script and I'll try to fix the problem, as soon as possible.

Installation

To install the KedPM support code into your python tree and the KedPM scripts into /usr/local/bin (substitute that path with whatever is appropriate for your system). You will need to have write permission for the selected location, e.g: being root on Unix:

python setup.py install

If you would like to place the KedPM scripts in a directory other than /usr/local/bin, then specify the preferred location with --install-script. For example, to install them in /opt/kedpm/bin:

python setup.py install --install-scripts=/opt/kedpm/bin

You can also use the --prefix /path/to/install option to use a completely different base directory, if you do not want to use administrator rights. If you choose to do this, take note of the message at the end of installation and modify the python path accordingly.
