Hey all,

I am writing a small python script to maintain some passwords and
identity info.  All the data is in an external file.  what is the best
way to encrypt/decrypt this file's data using a key? I am new to
encryption methods let alone how to do it in python.  I had a look at
python-crypto, ezPyCrypto and yawPyCrypto but they seemed overkill?


If you only need to encrypt passwords, look at the crypt module - it does
one way password hashing.

Good luck!
