This package provides modules for TUF client implementers.
tuf.ngclient.Updater is a class that implements the client workflow described in the TUF specification (see https://theupdateframework.github.io/specification/latest/#detailed-client-workflow)
tuf.ngclient.FetcherInterface is an abstract class that client implementers can implement a concrete class of in order to reuse their own networking/download libraries -- a Requests-based implementation is used by default.
This package:
- Aims to be a clean, easy-to-validate reference client implementation written in modern Python
- At the same time aims to be the library of choice for anyone implementing a TUF client in Python: light-weight, easy to integrate and with minimal required dependencies
- Is still under development but is planned to become the default client
in this implementation (i.e., the older
tuf.clientwill be deprecated in the future)
