PyCIRCLean is the core Python code used by [CIRCLean](https://github.com/CIRCL/Circlean/), an open-source
USB key and document sanitizer created by [CIRCL](https://www.circl.lu/). This module has been separated from the
device-specific scripts and can be used for dedicated security applications to sanitize documents from hostile environments
to trusted environments. PyCIRCLean is currently Python 3.3+ compatible.

running the tests will require access to a Linux box or VM.

and sanitization workflows in different organizations such as industrial
environments or restricted/classified ICT environments. A series of practical examples utilizing PyCIRCLean can be found
in the [./examples](./examples) directory. Note: for commits beyond version 2.2.0 these
examples are not guaranteed to work with the PyCIRCLean API. Please check [helpers.py](./kittengroomer/helpers.py) or

The following simple example using PyCIRCLean will only copy files with a .conf extension matching the 'text/plain' MIME
type. If any other file is found in the source directory, the files won't be copied to the destination directory.
