What it supplies: The README presents c2pa-python as a Python library for reading and validating C2PA manifests and for creating and signing them. Useful for: - Check whether a media file carries valid content credentials. - Sign and attach a manifest with assertions and ingredients to an asset. - Follow the repository docs for Builder intents to make spec-compliant manifests. First action: - Use Python 3.10 or later. - Install with pip install c2pa-python and import c2pa. - Read the usage document and supported formats list. Prerequisites and limits: The README requires Python 3.10+. The default build downloads a prebuilt native library from a c2pa-rs release. - Only the formats listed in the supported formats document can be read or signed. - Usage details are in the linked documents, which were not read. Source-documented: the project is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and the MIT License. Signing needs certificates and keys that the README does not supply. Written from the README text only. Statements are as the README gives them; nothing was installed or run. Based on README text only; the linked docs, release notes and code were not read. Nothing was installed or run.
