Some additions to @samp{gpg.core} and -the @samp{Context()}, however, were intended (see below). -@item -Continuing work in identifying and confirming the cause of -oft-reported @uref{gpgme-python-howto#snafu-runtime-not-funtime, problems installing the Python bindings on Windows}. -@item -GSOC: Google's Surreptitiously Ordered Conscription @dots{} erm @dots{} oh, -right; Google's Summer of Code. Though there were two hopeful -candidates this year; only one ended up involved with the GnuPG -Project directly, the other concentrated on an unrelated third party -project with closer ties to one of the GNU/Linux distributions than -to the GnuPG Project. Thus the Python bindings benefited from GSOC -participant Jacob Adams, who added the key@math{_import} function; building -on prior work by Tobias Mueller. -@item -Several new methods functions were added to the gpg.Context(), -including: @uref{gpgme-python-howto#howto-import-key, key@math{_import}}, @uref{gpgme-python-howto#howto-export-key, key@math{_export}}, @uref{gpgme-python-howto#howto-export-public-key, key@math{_export}@math{_minimal}} and -@uref{gpgme-python-howto#howto-export-secret-key, key@math{_export}@math{_secret}}. -@item -Importing and exporting examples include versions integrated with -Marcel Fest's recently released @uref{https://github.com/Selfnet/hkp4py, HKP for Python} module. Some -@uref{gpgme-python-howto#hkp4py, additional notes on this module} are included at the end of the HOWTO. -@item -Instructions for dealing with semi-walled garden implementations -like ProtonMail are also included. This is intended to make things -a little easier when communicating with users of ProtonMail's -services and should not be construed as an endorsement of said -service. The GnuPG Project neither favours, nor disfavours -ProtonMail and the majority of this deals with interacting with the -ProtonMail keyserver. -@item -Semi-formalised the location where @uref{gpgme-python-howto#draft-editions, draft versions} of this HOWTO may -periodically be accessible. This is both for the reference of -others and testing the publishing of the document itself. Renamed -this file at around the same time. -@item -The Texinfo documentation build configuration has been replicated -from the parent project in order to make to maintain consistency -with that project (and actually ship with each release). -@item -a reStructuredText (@samp{.rst}) version is also generated for Python -developers more used to and comfortable with that format as it is -the standard Python documentation format and Python developers may -wish to use it with Sphinx. Please note that there has been no -testing of the reStructuredText version with Sphinx at all. The -reST file was generated by the simple expedient of using @uref{https://pandoc.org/, Pandoc}. -@item -Added a new section for @uref{gpgme-python-howto#advanced-use, advanced or experimental use}. -@item -Began the advanced use cases with @uref{gpgme-python-howto#cython, a section} on using the module with -@uref{https://cython.org/, Cython}. -@item -Added a number of new scripts to the @samp{example/howto/} directory; -some of which may be in advance of their planned sections of the -HOWTO (and some are just there because it seemed like a good idea at -the time). -@item -Cleaned up a lot of things under the hood. -@end itemize - -@bye
