Hello,

What's the pythonic way to do this without polluting the user's
directory with the decrypted file?  I wrongly thought this should do
it:

import os.path as osp import gnupg import netrc import tempfile

gpg = gnupg.GPG()

with open(osp.expanduser("~/.authinfo.gpg"), "rb") as f: with
tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile("w+") as tf: status = gpg.decrypt_file(f,
output=tf.name) info = netrc.netrc(tf.name)

which fails as the temporary file doesn't even get created.

Are you sure it doesn't get created?

Without using tempfile:

with open(osp.expanduser("~/.authinfo.gpg"), "rb") as f:
     status = gpg.decrypt_file(f, output=".authinfo.txt")
     info = netrc.netrc(".authinfo.txt")

I get the error:

NetrcParseError: bad follower token 'port' (.authinfo.txt, line 1)

which is interesting.  The structure of ~/.authinfo.gpg is:

machine my.server.com login u...@foo.com password mypasswd port 587

so it seems this is not what netrc.netrc expects.

Here's a page I found about ".netrc":

https://ec.haxx.se/usingcurl/usingcurl-netrc

and here's a page I found about ".authinfo.gpg":

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusAuthinfo

Can you see the subtle difference?
