5 About
6 -----
7
8 This is the PyCAPTCHA package, a collection of Python modules
9 implementing CAPTCHAs: automated tests that humans should pass,
10 but current computer programs can't. These tests are often
11 used for security.
12
13 See http://www.captcha.net for more information and examples.
14
15 This project was started because the CIA project, written in
16 Python, needed a CAPTCHA to automate its user creation process
17 safely. All existing implementations the author could find were
18 written in Java or for the .NET framework, so a simple Python
19 alternative was needed.

21 Examples
22 --------
23
24 Included are several example programs:
25
26 - simple_example.py is a bare-bones example that just generates
27 and displays an image.
28
29 - http_example.py is a longer example that uses BaseHTTPServer
30 to simulate a CAPTCHA's use in a web environment. Running this
31 example and connecting to it from your web browser is a quick
32 and easy way to see PyCAPTCHA in action
33
34 - modpython_example.py is a version of http_example that runs
35 from an Apache server equipped with a properly configured
36 mod_python.
