- Decrypting something encrypted to a key in one's secret keyring
- (will display some extra data you normally wouldn't show, but which
- may be of use):
+ 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.
