Tobias Mueller aa49be1ab8 python: Remove the -builtin flag for SWIG. * lang/python/setup.py.in: Call SWIG without the builtin flag. -- The SWIG documentation <http://www.swig.org/Doc2.0/Python.html#Python_nn28> leaves the impression that -builtin is solely for increasing performance: New in SWIG version 2.0.4: The use of Python proxy classes has performance implications that may be unacceptable for a high- performance library. The new -builtin option instructs SWIG to forego the use of proxy classes, and instead create wrapped types as new built-in Python types. When this option is used, the following section ("Proxy classes") does not apply. Details on the use of the -builtin option are in the Built-in Types section. While not wasting CPU cycles is good, it also prevents Python code being written in the wrapper itself. That, however, may be useful to make it easier to extend the wrapper.

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.

* Authors

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.
