About:
gpgmepy provides Python bindings for the GPGME (GPG Made Easy) library, enabling developers to integrate OpenPGP and S/MIME cryptographic operations directly into Python applications. It offers a high-level, object-oriented API for managing keys, encrypting, decrypting, signing, and verifying data. This package simplifies secure communication and data protection workflows by abstracting the complexities of the underlying GPG engine.
Key Features:
  • Object-oriented Python interface for GPGME
  • Support for encryption, decryption, signing, and verification
  • Key management operations (listing, importing, exporting)
  • Handles both OpenPGP and S/MIME protocols
Use Cases:
  • Building secure messaging applications with end-to-end encryption
  • Automating software signing and verification processes in CI/CD pipelines
  • Implementing encrypted file storage or data transfer services
Alternatives:
  • python-gnupg – A pure-Python wrapper around the gpg binary, whereas gpgmepy provides direct bindings to the GPGME C library for potentially better performance and integration.
