  Description     : a python library for the BrowserID Protocol (Mozilla Persona)

BrowserID is a cross-browser, provider-agnostic login system for the
Web.  It is designed to eliminate site-specific passwords and rely on
strong cryptography to verify user identities.  Mozilla offers their
"Persona" service as the the first major implementation (and as a
fallback for sites that do not yet implement their own BrowserID
service.

This package provides a python client library for web sites that want
to identify users via BrowserID.  It does not implement BrowserID
provider functionality.
