Copyright © 2024 Teal Dulcet

Automatically gets and registers assignments, reports assignment progress and results, uploads proof files to and downloads certification starting values from PrimeNet for the Mlucas, GpuOwl, PRPLL, PrMers, CUDALucas, mfaktc, mfakto and PrimePath GIMPS programs. Additionally, it can get assignments and report results to mersenne.ca for exponents above the PrimeNet limit of 1G. Supports both Python 2 and 3 and Windows, macOS and Linux. Requires the [Requests library](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), which is included with most Python 3 installations. The program will automatically prompt to install Requests on first run if it is not already installed.
