Module pyVerif.Protocol

Manage protocol files.

The directory is structured as follow:

where:
  - <...> mean some user-specified name,
  - <TOP> is the top of the protocol directory,
  - files_real_ids.lst is the list of real client id associated to
    each file,  
  - *.lst are lists of files/client associations,
  - norm is the directory containing lists of files used for
    normalization, like for example the world model,
  - <p1>, <p2>, <pT> are some variant of the protocol,
    (the variant is optional if you only have one variant),
  - dev and test are the mode of use of the protocolk
  - for_models.lst are the lists of files we can use for training
    models,
  - for_models_impostors.lst are the lists of files we can use for
    training models, but these are samples of impostors, (this file is
    optional),    
  - for_scores.lst are the lists of files we can use for computing
    scores,

Each line of the files *.lst are like (with ids as key):

    <filename1> [<filename2> ...] <id1>
