pysmb 1.0.0 Released!

About 10 years ago, I have released the first version of pysmb. Since then, Microsoft Windows has made significant changes to the NTLM authentication protocol which causes pysmb to become incompatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7 machines.

Now, with the release of pysmb 1.0.0, you can write Python applications to transfer files on shared folders on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, as well as on Unix machines running Samba. pysmb 1.0.0 remains faithful to its clause that it will remain a pure Python SMB/CIFS module without any need for binary compilation. For this to be possible, it has utilized other pure Python modules such as pyDES, MD4 and pyasn1.

In addition to its new compatibilities with the recent Windows OS, pysmb has also been rewritten to support other frameworks. At the moment, a Twisted NetBIOS and SMB/CIFS protocol implementation has been included with pysmb 1.0.0 sources. Please refer to the documentation in the sources for more details.

For more details on pysmb 1.0.0, please go to the pysmb project page to download it, or you can also run: "easy_install pysmb" to install it on your machine.
