Hello,
I'd like to write a small backup utility in Python, which would take
advantage of Secure FTP to upload backup archives. Is there a library
implementing SFTP in Python (something like ftplib)? Or is there some other
(noncomplicated ) way how secure uploading can be implemented in Python?
Thank you for advice,
Michal

I just read a posting about a new library building a secure tunnel for
whatever protocol you want. Or at least that is how I understood it
without looking into it at all :)
So try looking if you can not use stunnel at http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Coo.../Recipe/213238

ftplib

About anything is less needlessly complicated than FTP.
SSH is often the obvious choice, but WebDAV can also
run over SSL.

rsync, in particular, is a good fit for what many people
mean by "uploading" , and rsync is ssh-savvy.

or, on top of rsync-libs, you can run duplicity.
Written in Python :-) and does encryption also
of the backup-store using GPG.
Interesting especially if
other people have root access on the backup-server.
The transfer intself can be done in plain ftp or
ssh/scp. http://www.nongnu.org/duplicity/
Maybe too far from what OP actually is interested in.

Or just use the plain librsync wrapper for Python.
Another option that I use to use SSH tunnels.
<OT>
For some reason the people who contributed the ODBC driver to PostgreSQL
found it necessary to reimplement the PostgreSQL wire protocol instead
of linking to libpq, which would already be SSL enabled. Instead of
buying a commercial SSL-enabled PostgreSQL ODBC driver I decided to just
set up a SSH tunnel to my PostgreSQL server for ODBC access.
</OT>
To tunnel FTP over SSH you'll have to use passive FTP.
I don't remember if it has been mentioned already, but M2Crypto has a
FTP/SSL implementation.

You can do that using pycurl.

Hi everybody.
I was wandering is there a method or a function already implemented in
python that supports secure deletion of data?
I'm interested in something which is able to securely wipe data (from
single file to bunch of MB's), and that should run both on Linux and
Windows.
I tried on google, but I hadn't found anything useful to me.

I'm trying to create a simple XMLRPC server and a client. It is a small
application, but the connection needs to be secure. I would like the
client to be as thin as possible. Ideally, the client should only
require the basic python library, nothing else. I found many examples on
the net. But I could not find secure ones (except twisted/xmlrpc, but I
would like to use the basic python lib on the client side, if possible).

Hi List!
I was thinking about secure Python code execution, and I'd really
appreciate some comments from those who know Python better than I do.
I was thinking that maybe it could be possible to load and run untrusted
Python code, simply by loading it in a module with a modified version of
__builtins__. Without any reachable function that do unsafe operations,
code running from there shouldn't be able to do evil things.

I honestly don't know. But, I have seen articles and posts about how
PHP is terribly insecure. I don't usually see comparisons to other
common web languages.
I think the big vulnerablity is supposed to be code injections.
Another security issue would be having code stolen, but I think that
PHP can be protected from that.
Obviously, I don't know a lot about it.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
