<title>The PyME package maintained by Martin Albrecht</title>

<p>This package is the origin of these bindings, though they are somewhat different now. For
|
|
|
|
|
details of when and how the PyME package was folded back into GPGME itself see the
|
|
|
|
|
<cite>Short History</cite> document<fn><codeph>Short_History.org</codeph> and/or
|
|
|
|
|
<codeph>Short_History.html</codeph>.</fn> in the Python bindings <codeph>docs/</codeph>
|
|
|
|
|
directory.<fn>The <filepath>lang/python/docs/</filepath> directory in the GPGME
|
|
|
|
|
source.</fn></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The PyME package was first released in 2002 and was also the first attempt to implement a
|
|
|
|
|
low level binding to GPGME. In doing so it provided access to considerably more
|
|
|
|
|
functionality than either the <codeph>python-gnupg</codeph> or <codeph>gnupg</codeph>
|
|
|
|
|
packages.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The PyME package is only available for Python 2.6 and 2.7.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Porting the PyME package to Python 3.4 in 2015 is what resulted in it being folded into the
|
|
|
|
|
GPGME project and the current bindings are the end result of that effort.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The PyME package is available under the same dual licensing as GPGME itself: the GNU
|
|
|
|
|
General Public License version 2.0 (or any later version) and the GNU Lesser General Public
|
|
|
|
|
License version 2.1 (or any later version).</p>
