ANN: gnupg v0.2.0 released

V

Vinay Sajip

A new version of the Python module which wraps GnuPG has been
released.

What Changed?
=============
The module was refactored slightly to support Python 3.0.

The current version now passes all tests on Windows (Python 2.4, 2.5)
and Ubuntu (Python 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 3.0).

What Does It Do?
================
The gnupg module allows Python programs to make use of the
functionality provided by the Gnu Privacy Guard (abbreviated GPG or
GnuPG). Using this module, Python programs can encrypt and decrypt
data, digitally sign documents and verify digital signatures, manage
(generate, list and delete) encryption keys, using proven Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) encryption technology based on OpenPGP.

This module is expected to be used with Python versions >= 2.4, as it
makes use of the subprocess module which appeared in that version of
Python. This module is a newer version derived from earlier work by
Andrew Kuchling, Richard Jones and Steve Traugott.

A test suite using unittest is included with the source distribution.

Simple usage:

-----END PGP MESSAGE-----\n''Verified'
