Module gnupg

A wrapper for the GnuPG gpg command.

Portions of this module are derived from A.M. Kuchling's well-designed GPG.py, using Richard Jones' updated version 1.3, which can be found in the pycrypto CVS repository on Sourceforge:

http://pycrypto.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pycrypto/gpg/GPG.py

This module is not forward-compatible with amk's; some of the old interface has changed. For instance, since I've added decrypt functionality, I elected to initialize with a 'gnupghome' argument instead of 'keyring', so that gpg can find both the public and secret keyrings. I've also altered some of the returned objects in order for the caller to not have to know as much about the internals of the result classes.

While the rest of ISconf is released under the GPL, I am releasing this single file under the same terms that A.M. Kuchling used for pycrypto.

This version of the module has been modified from Steve Traugott's version (see http://trac.t7a.org/isconf/browser/trunk/lib/python/isconf/GPG.py) by Vinay Sajip to make use of the subprocess module (Steve's version uses os.fork() and so does not work on Windows). Renamed to gnupg.py to avoid confusion with the previous versions.
