Hi Al,
My name is Rony, I am new to python.
Welcome to the list.
Need your help and guidance for developing a python script with the below
details:
Using GnuPG to encrypt a file(s) on linux. Essentially two modes of operation
would be ideal:
1. Running something like “./encrypt.py inputfilename.txt” which will
output a file called “inputfilename.txt.pgp”.
2. The ability to pipe input into “encrypt.py<http://encrypt.py/>” and have
it write out in encrypted format. Something like “echo thisistestdata | ./encrypt.py
> encrypted.pgp”.
Sounds like a nice first project.
Grab yourself a Python 2.5 or 2.6, read a tutorial on Python, then start
trying to accomplish your project.
When you get stuck, post a question about that specific problem, and we will
try to guide you back on track so you can finish your project.
To interface with the GnuPG program, the subprocess module seems like a good
starting point to me.
Albert
