assuan 0.2.1b1

Python module and tools for communicating in the Assuan protocol.

Python module and tools for communicating in the Assuan protocol.

There are a number of GnuPG wrappers for python out there, but they mostly work via the gpg executable. This is an attempt to cut to the chase and speak directly to gpgme-tool (source) over a well-defined socket protocol.

Installation

Dependencies

assuan is a simple package with no external dependencies outside the Python 3.6+ standard library.

Contributing

assuan is available as a Git repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/pygpg/assuan.git

See the homepage for details. To install the checkout, run the standard:

$ pip install -e .[dev]

Usage

Checkout the docstrings and the examples in bin.

Testing

Run the internal unit tests with pytest:

$ python -m pytest

To test running servers by hand, you can use gpg-connect-agent. Despite the name, this program can connect to any Assuan server:

$ gpg-connect-agent --raw-socket name
