gpgkeys 1.1

Command line shell for GnuPG

Introduction

The gpgkeys program is a Python application that allows to conveniently manage GnuPG keys and keyrings.

While probably not very interesting in itself, it serves as example application and testbed for the development of the rl library. In particular, gpgkeys contains a sophisticated implementation of filename completion, which may one day find its way into a standalone package or rl add-on.

Repository Access

gpgkeys development is hosted on github.

Installation

gpgkeys depends on the rl library. Since rl contains a C extension, it is a good idea to install it independently first.

Once rl is installed, type:

/path/to/easy_install gpgkeys

to install the gpgkeys script. Then put it on your system PATH by e.g. symlinking it to /usr/local/bin.
