Project description

A Python binding for the gpgme library, used to drive the gpg command line program.

More information about gpgme can be found here:

http://www.gnupg.org/related_software/gpgme/

This binding stays fairly close to the C API with the following exceptions:

  • Memory management is not exposed to the user

  • Functions like gpgme_get_foo()/gpgme_set_foo() are converted to attribute access on gpgme.Context objects.

  • Functions that take gpgme_data_t arguments take arbitrary Python file-like objects. The read(), write(), seek() and tell() methods may be used on the object.

  • Non-zero gpgme_error_t return values are converted to gpgme.GpgmeError exceptions.

  • Only the synchronous versions of functions have been wrapped. However, the Python global interpreter lock is dropped, so should play nicely in multi-threaded Python programs.

  • Function pairs like gpgme_op_import()/gpgme_op_import_result() are combined into single method calls.

  • The Python version of gpgme_op_keylist() returns an iterator over the matched keys, rather than requiring the user to use a special iteration function.

This library is licensed under the LGPL, the same license as the gpgme library.
