Ben McGinnes f0063afa71 docs: python bindings HOWTO - DITA XML version
* Due to the org-babel bug which breaks Python source code examples
  beyond the most simple snippets, ported the HOWTO to a source format
  which I *know* for sure won't break it.
* Details of the org-mode bug is in https://dev.gnupg.org/T3977
* DITA project uses DITA-OT 2.x (2.4 or 2.5, IIRC) with support for DITA 1.3.
* source files were written with oXygenXML Editor 20.0, hence the
  oXygenXML project file in the directory; however only the .ditamap
  and .dita files are required to generate any output with the
  DITA-OT.

<title>The PyME package maintained by Martin Albrecht</title>
<body>
<p>This package is the origin of these bindings, though they are somewhat different now. For
details of when and how the PyME package was folded back into GPGME itself see the
<cite>Short History</cite> document<fn><codeph>Short_History.org</codeph> and/or
<codeph>Short_History.html</codeph>.</fn> in the Python bindings <codeph>docs/</codeph>
directory.<fn>The <filepath>lang/python/docs/</filepath> directory in the GPGME
source.</fn></p>
<p>The PyME package was first released in 2002 and was also the first attempt to implement a
low level binding to GPGME. In doing so it provided access to considerably more
functionality than either the <codeph>python-gnupg</codeph> or <codeph>gnupg</codeph>
packages.</p>
<p>The PyME package is only available for Python 2.6 and 2.7.</p>
<p>Porting the PyME package to Python 3.4 in 2015 is what resulted in it being folded into the
GPGME project and the current bindings are the end result of that effort.</p>
<p>The PyME package is available under the same dual licensing as GPGME itself: the GNU
General Public License version 2.0 (or any later version) and the GNU Lesser General Public
License version 2.1 (or any later version).</p>
