This follows weeks of discussion on the gnupg-devel mailing list. Hopefully it will make it easier for people using Python to use GnuPG in the future. Signed-off-by: Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>

gpg - GPGME bindings for Python -*- org -*-
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
The "gpg" module is a python interface to the GPGME library:
|
|
https://www.gnupg.org/related_software/gpgme/
|
|
|
|
"gpg" offers two interfaces, one is a high-level, curated, and
|
|
idiomatic interface that is implemented as a shim on top of the
|
|
low-level interface automatically created using SWIG.
|
|
|
|
This way we make simple things easy, while still providing the entire
|
|
functionality of the underlying library.

|
PyME was created by John Goerzen, and maintained, developed, and
|
|
cherished by Igor Belyi, Martin Albrecht, Ben McGinnes, and everyone
|
|
who contributed to it in any way.
|
|
|
|
In 2016 we merged a port of PyME to into the GPGME repository, and
|
|
development will continue there. Please see the VCS history for the
|
|
list of contributors, and if you do find bugs, or want to contribute,
|
|
please get in touch and help maintain the python gpg bindings.
|
|
|
|
Please see the section 'History' further down this document for
|
|
references to previous versions.
