This patch changes the decryption functions not to fail if there was an
unicode decode error while converting the decrypted bytes plaintext into
a native python string.
Characters that cannot be decoded as unicode are now replaced with the
unicode replacement character (U+FFFD).
The old behaviour of raising an UnicodeDecodeError can be achieved by
passing the "strict" error handling scheme to the decrypt function.
This commit imports the python bindings from:
https://github.com/poljar/python-olm
The bindings are imported at commit c44b145818520d69eaaa350fb95afcb846125e0f
Minor modifications were made while importing:
- Removed travis config
- Removed Arch Linux PKGBUILD
- Removed the html docs, they can be rebuild by running make html in
the docs folder
- Slightly modified the README
The new bindings feature some improvements over the old ones:
- Python 2 and 3 support
- Automatic memory management
- Automatic memory clearing before it is freed
- Type signatures via the python typing module
- Full test coverage
- Properties are utilized where it makes sense (e.g. account.id)
