The latest release of this package may be obtained from https://www.gnupg.org FEATURES -------- * Feature-rich, full implementation of the GPGME library. Supports all GPGME features. Callback functions may be written in pure Python. Exceptions raised in callbacks are properly propagated. * Ability to sign, encrypt, decrypt, and verify data. * Ability to list keys, export and import keys, and manage the keyring. * Fully object-oriented with convenient classes and modules. QUICK EXAMPLE ------------- >>> import gpg >>> with gpg.Context() as c: >>> with gpg.Context() as c: ... cipher, _, _ = c.encrypt("Hello world :)".encode(), ... passphrase="abc") ... c.decrypt(cipher, passphrase="abc") ... (b'Hello world :)', , ) GENERAL OVERVIEW ---------------- For those of you familiar with GPGME, you will be right at home here. The python gpg module is, for the most part, a direct interface to the C GPGME library. However, it is re-packaged in a more Pythonic way -- object-oriented with classes and modules. Take a look at the classes defined here -- they correspond directly to certain object types in GPGME for C. For instance, the following C code: gpgme_ctx_t context; gpgme_new(&context); ... gpgme_op_encrypt(context, recp, 1, plain, cipher); Translates into the following Python code: context = core.Context() ... context.op_encrypt(recp, 1, plain, cipher) The Python module automatically does error-checking and raises Python exception gpg.errors.GPGMEError when GPGME signals an error. getcode() and getsource() of this exception return code and source of the error. IMPORTANT NOTE -------------- This documentation only covers a small subset of available GPGME functions and methods. Please consult the documentation for the C library for comprehensive coverage. This library uses Python's reflection to automatically detect the methods that are available for each class, and as such, most of those methods do not appear explicitly anywhere. You can use dir() python built-in command on an object to see what methods and fields it has but their meaning can be found only in GPGME documentation.
