Decrypting something encrypted to a key in one's secret keyring is fairly straight forward.

In this example code, however, preconfiguring either gpg.Context() or gpg.core.Context() as c is unnecessary because there is no need to modify the Context prior to conducting the decryption and since the Context is only used once, setting it to c simply adds lines for no gain.

import gpg ciphertext = input("Enter path and filename of encrypted file: ") newfile = input("Enter path and filename of file to save decrypted data to: ") with open(ciphertext, "rb") as cfile: plaintext, result, verify_result = gpg.Context().decrypt(cfile) with open(newfile, "wb") as nfile: nfile.write(plaintext)

The data available in plaintext in this example is the decrypted content as a byte object, the recipient key IDs and algorithms in result and the results of verifying any signatures of the data in verify_result.
