"Pyme", when prounced, rhymes with "Pine". The latest release of this package may be obtained from https://www.gnupg.org Previous releases of this package for Python 2 can be obtained from http://pyme.sourceforge.net 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. GENERAL OVERVIEW ---------------- For those of you familiar with GPGME, you will be right at home here. Pyme 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 pyme.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. QUICK START SAMPLE PROGRAM -------------------------- This program is not for serious encryption, but for example purposes only! import sys import os from pyme import core, constants # Set up our input and output buffers. plain = core.Data('This is my message.') cipher = core.Data() # Initialize our context. c = core.Context() c.set_armor(1) # Set up the recipients. sys.stdout.write("Enter name of your recipient: ") sys.stdout.flush() name = sys.stdin.readline().strip() c.op_keylist_start(name, 0) r = c.op_keylist_next() # Do the encryption. c.op_encrypt([r], 1, plain, cipher) cipher.seek(0, os.SEEK_SET) sys.stdout.buffer.write(cipher.read()) Note that although there is no explicit error checking done here, the Python GPGME library is automatically doing error-checking, and will raise an exception if there is any problem. This program is in the Pyme distribution as examples/simple.py. The examples directory contains more advanced samples as well.
