# puren_tonboPure Plain Text Notes... with optional encryption.
https://github.com/clach04/puren_tonbo/
**IMPORTANT** before using the optionally encryption features,
ensure that it is legal in your country to use the specific encryption ciphers.
Some countries have also have restrictions on import, export, and usage see http://www.cryptolaw.org/cls-sum.htm* [Background](#background)

Plain text notes search/edit tool that supports encrypted files, formats:
* [AES-256 ZIP AE-1/AE-2](https://www.winzip.com/en/support/aes-encryption/) created with 7z (does NOT support encrypted 7z files), WinZIP, WinRAR - AES256 (under Python 3 can also read (but not write) the original ZipCrypto zip format)
* AES-256-CTR PBKDF2 (iterations 1000)
* [ccrypt](https://ccrypt.sourceforge.net/) - Rijndael-256 (no authentication)
* [GnuPG (OpenPGP, gpg)](https://www.gnupg.org/) - [symmetric](https://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/r656.html) see https://tutonics.com/articles/gpg-encryption-guide-part-4-symmetric-encryption/#:~:text=Another%20type%20of%20cryptographic%20solution,also%20called%20a%20shared%20secret.
* [OpenSSL 1.1.0 aes-256-cbc](https://github.com/openssl/openssl) - [symmetric](https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man1/openssl.html) AES-256-CBC encryption with pbkdf2.
* [Tombo (chi)](https://github.com/clach04/chi_io?tab=readme-ov-file) - blowfish-ECB
* [vim VimCrypt](https://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/editing.html#encryption) encrypted files READ ONLY - VimCrypt (1-3) zip, blowfish, and blowfish2プレーン トンボ

* http://tombo.sourceforge.jp/En/
* https://github.com/clach04/chi_io
* https://hg.sr.ht/~clach04/pytombo - NOTE Puren Tonbo is intended to replace PyTombo## Features
* Plain text files notes (potentially with no formatting or in Markdown, reStructuredText, etc.)
* Nested directories of notes
* Supports reading and writing from/to encrypted files that are compatible with other formats/tools (there is no intention to create a new crypto format/algorithm in this tool)
* Currently limited to local file system and stdin/out for files
* Command line tools; `ptcat` and `ptcipher` to encrypt/decrypt and view plain text files
* `ptcipher` - process raw binary files, controlled via command line and environment variables
* `ptcat` - in addition to command line and environment variables, also has an (optional) config file and the concept of a root directory of notes
* `ptgrep` - a grep, [ack](https://beyondgrep.com/), [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep), [silver-searcher](https://geoff.greer.fm/ag/), [pss](https://github.com/eliben/pss) like tool that works on encrypted (and plain text) files
* `ptig` an interactive grep like tool that can also view/edit
* `ptpyvim` a vim-like editor that works on encrypted (and plain text) files
* `ptdiff3merge` 3-way diff/merge too that can works with encrypted (and plain text) files## Getting Started
sudo apt-get install python-tk
sudo apt-get install ccrypt### Regular install
pip install "puren_tonbo[all]"
### Without a source code checkout
Picking up the latest version
pip uninstall puren_tonbo ; python -m pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/clach04/chi_io.git git+https://github.com/clach04/puren_tonbo.git
# sanity check, and dump sample config to stdout
ptconfig
python -m puren_tonbo.tools.ptconfig### From a source code checkout
# pip uninstall puren_tonbo
# python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
# TODO requirements_optional.txt
python -m pip install -e .# sanity check, and dump sample config to stdout
ptconfig
python -m puren_tonbo.tools.ptconfig## Microsoft Windows
* NOTE "start" can help with spawning exes that wait, and do not exit. BUT ensure command being started is in path (do not use full path), causes issues with multiple edit ("en") in ptig.
* Unicode support, CMD.exe has limited Unicode support, instead use a GUI terminal with Unicode support (see below)### Microsoft Windows GUI Alternative Terminals
Using an alternative to CMD.exe allows full Unicode support, including Emoji
Recommend mintty (or in a pinch Windows Terminal).Do NOT recommend Fluent Terminal (FluentTerminal).
Untested alternatives; Windows Terminal 2, ConEMu (https://conemu.github.io/ https://github.com/Maximus5/ConEmu)
#### mintty (recommended)
https://github.com/mintty/mintty
mintty is included with Git for Windows, msys2, cygwin.
Examples:
mintty --title ptig --hold error --size 120,35 -e python -m puren_tonbo.tools.ptig
mintty --title ptig --hold error --size 120,35 -e C:\full\path\to\ptig.exe
mintty --title ptig --hold error --size 120,35 -e ptig.exe
"C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\mintty.exe" --title ptig --hold error --size 120,35 -e python -m puren_tonbo.tools.ptigSupport is excellent, can easily change color theme/scheme without changing ALL terminals. Great control over title name.
Out of the box Emoji (Unicode) font is mono, rather than full color.
To enable full color emoji see https://github.com/mintty/mintty/wiki/Tips#emojis
https://github.com/mintty/mintty/wiki/Tips#quick-guide-to-emoji-installation is the least effort option, but slower than manually downloading and extracting.
One emoji are installed (to `%APPDATA%\mintty\emojis`) open mintty settings "Options...", Text, then edit the Style content to point to the directory of downloaded images for emoji.Known to work well with mintty; 3.6.4, 3.7.0, 3.7.4, and 3.7.6 as installed by https://github.com/git-for-windows/git (and Python 3.1x).
NOTE odd title (numbers, forward slash, numbers) with mintty 3.7.4 and 3.7.6 (included with Git 2.46.0 and 2.46.2) and Python 3.12.5 - NOT seen with other versions.Sample config file:
type "%USERPROFILE%\.minttyrc"
cat ~/.minttyrcThemeFile=rosipov
Font=Consolas
FontHeight=10"rosipov" is a built in theme (there are others, and custom ones can also be added too).
#### Alacritty
https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty
NOTE no scroll bar, and looks like there is no intention to support?
Great for keyboard only control.Examples:
"C:\Program Files\Alacritty\alacritty.exe" --title ptig --hold -e C:\full\path\to\ptig.exe
#### Windows Terminal
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/ https://aka.ms/terminal
Whilst Windows Terminal looks great (out of box emoji is in full color font), it is limited compared to mintty. For example no control over title and color scheme is global.
Windows Terminal (with Unicode support, including emoji) WindowsTerminal https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/tag/v1.20.11381.0 works great (or from AppStore https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n0dx20hk701)
wt.exe - `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe` or from zip (not AppStore) `WindowsTerminal.exe` (multi color emoji) and `OpenConsole.exe` (single color emoji)
how to get taskbar icon showing up?Examples:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe C:\full\path\to\ptig.exe

A grep, [ack](https://beyondgrep.com/), [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep), [silver-searcher](https://geoff.greer.fm/ag/), [pss](https://github.com/eliben/pss) like tool that works on encrypted (and plain text) files.
Has similar parameters for ease of switching.
Python 2.7 note for Windows. Non-ascii characters can cause Python exception/crashes UnicodeEncodeError when attempting to print Unicode characters, where as Python 3 does not. ptgrep implements a translation feature/hack which can be disabled (or tweaked) via the Operating System environment variable `PTGREP_STDOUT_MODE. Valid options are `disabled`, `utf8`, and `ascii:backslashreplace`. For Python 2.7 under Microsoft Windows **only** (when neither `PYTHONIOENCODING` nor `PYTHONUTF8` have been set) `ascii:backslashreplace` is the default and works in a similar fashion to `PYTHONIOENCODING`.

A simple GUI viewer using the tk toolkit:
python -m puren_tonbo.tools.pttkview -h
pttkview -h### ptpyvim
If pyvim is available, ptpyvim wraps encryption/decryption support.
ptpyvim
python -m puren_tonbo.tools.ptpyvim### ptdiff3merge
a 3-way diff and merge tool.
Defaults to outputing plaintext to stdout, can be an encrypted file output.
Each file can be encrypted with differnent methods BUT any encrypted files must all use the same password.ptdiff3merge
python -m puren_tonbo.tools.ptdiff3merge### ptcipher
ptcipher is a tool for dealing with raw (binary, i.e. bytes rather than characters) files for encryption/decryption.
All options are controlled via command line flag and operating system environment variables.Assuming installed:
ptcipher -h
From source code checkout:
python -m puren_tonbo.tools.ptcipher -h
python2 -m puren_tonbo.tools.ptcipher -h

py -3 -m puren_tonbo.tools.ptcipher -p password_ignored puren_tonbo/tests/data/aesop.txt.gzNOTE Python 2 support for gz files is missing do to API differences in zlib.
#### Tombo Blowfish CHI
Symmetric encryption/decryption from passphase.
Compatible with http://tombo.osdn.jp/En/ (and others, for example, Kumagusu on Android).
ptcipher -e -p test README.md -o README.chi
ptcipher -v -p test README.chi
The chi file can also be read/written by Tombo http://tombo.sourceforge.jp/En/ and clones
#### ccrypt CPT
Symmetric encryption/decryption from passphase.
Tested with ccrypt 1.11 and 1.10 (32-bit and 64-bit Intel x86/x64 and arm).
Requires a ccrypt binary, download from https://ccrypt.sourceforge.net/
(or debian apt). ccrypt binary/executable needs to be in the path or
the environment variable CCRYPT_EXE needs to have the (full) path.
NOTE Under Microsoft Windows, is the ccrypt.exe is in a path with
spaces, do NOT use double quotes in the SET. Example: `set CCRYPT_EXE=C:\3rd party bins\ccrypt.exe`python -m puren_tonbo.tools.ptcipher --password password puren_tonbo/tests/data/aesop_win_ccrypt.cpt

ccrypt -c -K test README.cpt#### OpenPGP - gpg / pgp
Symmetric encryption/decryption from passphase, key support not explictly implemented.
Requires a gpg binary, download from https://gnupg.org/download/
python -m puren_tonbo.tools.ptcipher --cipher=asc -e -p test README.md -o README.asc
python -m puren_tonbo.tools.ptcipher --cipher=gpg -e -p test README.md -o README.gpggpg --pinentry-mode=loopback --decrypt --passphrase test README.gpg
Also see `encryptcli` from https://github.com/evpo/EncryptPad/
#### OpenSSL 1.1.0 AES
OpenSSL 1.1.0+ compatible (with a very small subset of options).
ptcat --note-root=. puren_tonbo/tests/data/aesop_win.openssl_aes256cbc_pbkdf2_10k
Intended to allow decryption of files generated with OpenSSL 1.1.0 and vice-versa. Supported OpenSSL flags/formats, see https://linux.die.net/man/1/openssl:
openssl enc -e aes-256-cbc -salt -pbkdf2 -iter 10000 -in in_file -base64 -out out_file
openssl dec -d aes-256-cbc -salt -pbkdf2 -iter 10000 -in in_file -base64 -out out_fileecho hello| openssl enc -e aes-256-cbc -salt -pbkdf2 -iter 10000 -in - -base64 -out - -pass env:SET_OS_VAR_PASSWORD
echo hello| openssl enc -e aes-256-cbc -salt -pbkdf2 -iter 10000 -in - -base64 -out - -pass pass:password
echo hello| openssl enc -e -aes-256-cbc -in - -out - -salt -pbkdf2 -iter 10000 -pass pass:passwordNOTE PBKDF2 iteration count of 10,000 is the default in OpenSSL 1.1.1 and is considered too few in 2023.
Older versions of OpenSSL did not support; PBKDF2 (and ergo iterations) and salt and used a much weaker KDF.
See https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man1/openssl-enc.html for more information.Supports binary/raw and base64 encoded/ASCII armored files.
ONLY supports aes-256-cbc with salt and pbkdf2 KDF with 10,000 interations.#### AES-256 zip
Symmetric encryption/decryption from passphase.
ptcipher -e -p test README.md -o README.aes256.zip
ptcipher -p test README.aes256.zip
The aes256.zip file can also be read/written by 7-Zip, WinRAR, WinZIP, etc. that support AES zip files.
For example, 7z can read and write AES zip files:
7z a -tzip -mem=AES256 -ptest README.aes256.zip README.md
7z x -ptest README.aes256.zip#### VimCrypt
Symmetric encryption/decryption from passphase.
NOTE not implemented in nvim / neovim.
In vim the easiest way to get the newest encryption mode/format, for a file:
vim -c ":setlocal cm=blowfish2" test.vimcrypt3
then issue:
:X
will be prompted for password, can then edit/save as per normal.
To see encryption mode:
:setlocal cm?
ptcipher demo:
python -m puren_tonbo.tools.ptcipher -p test test.vimcrypt3
## ptcat/ptcipher with text editors like vim
### readonly pipe into editor
Quick and easy view/read ONLY of encrypted file with vim, without updating vim config.
NOTE call vim (or neovim) with options to set "private" mode:
* `-` to read from stdin instead of a filename, avoid plaintext hitting the disk
* `-n` turns off swap file - use memory only
* `-i` turns off .viminfoTODO disable undo file
1. Use a pipe (cross platform)
ptcat FILE | vim - -n -i "NONE"
2. Use bash shell [process substitution](http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/process-sub.html) feature for editors that don't support stdin (Linux/Unix only, avoids directly calling mkfifo and cleaning up named pipes)
scite < (ptcat FILE)
ptcat FILE | scite /dev/stdin
scite <(python -m puren_tonbo.tools.ptcat puren_tonbo/tests/data/aesop.txt)Puren Tonbo will prompt for passwords and the decrypted content should not hit the file system.
Option 1 can be used with other tools that take in stdin, option 2 can be used with any tool that takes in a filename.
Caution!
* don't save the raw file
* ensure now backup, swap, undo file, etc.. get createdhttps://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/6177/the-simplest-way-to-start-vim-in-private-mode
### SciTE lua plugin
Tested with versions: v4.0.0, 4.1.5, and 5.3.5
See [pt_scite.lua](integrations/scite/pt_scite.lua) - read and write support (tested Windows).
NOTE due to lua popen() any helpful error text/information is missing. Diagnosing failures can be difficult, even for trivial errors like directory/disk does not exist as this is not reported to the lua runtime.
Also see SciTE Python plugin for read and write support with stderror support.By default uses `ptcipher` in path, override via `PTCIPHER_EXE` environment variable.
Does NOT prompt for password, requires setting `PT_PASSWORD` environment variable or use of keyring.
* Can be used standalone or with ParsKorata (http://lua-users.org/wiki/ParsKorata) mini/simple ExtMan compatible script
* Untested with ExtMan - http://lua-users.org/wiki/SciteExtManNeed to edit SciTEUser.properties:
* Windows
* `%USERPROFILE%"\SciTEUser.properties` or `%APPDATA%\scite\SciTEUser.properties`
* Unix
* `~/.SciTEUser.properties` or `$HOME/.SciTEUser.properties`Alternatively, launch scite, then open Options, Open User (or GLobal) Options File.
Windows NOTE to avoid a (typically black) CMD/Command window showing up use SciTE 4.4.4 or later and set `create.hidden.console` in SciTEUser.properties:
# https://groups.google.com/g/scite-interest/c/QOhizNSEejU/m/qXslloxnCgAJ
# SciTE 4.4.4 on Windows adds create.hidden.console option to stop console window flashing when Lua script calls os.execute or io.popen.
create.hidden.console=1
# TODO see if this can be set in lua code, to make config easier#### SciTE lua install without extension manager
If not using a plugin extension manager can simply set `pt_scite.lua` as starting lua script.
Edit SciTEUser.properties to set lua script:...
ext.lua.startup.script=C:\code\py\puren_tonbo\pt_scite.lua
create.hidden.console=1
...#### SciTE lua install with an extension manager
If using an extman like system:
...
# This is a simplified ExtMan
# requires each plugin/add-on to be "registered" or declared, white listed, etc.
ext.lua.startup.script=C:\code\scite\extman\parskorata_extman.lua
...Then edit `parskorata_extman.lua` to add to end:
mgr:load_files{'pt_scite.lua'}
NOTE not needed with original full ExtMan.
### SciTE Python plugin
See [scite with Python README](integrations/pt_scite_with_python/README.md) - read and write support, Windows only (needs polishing).
By default uses `ptcipher` in path, override via `PTCIPHER_EXE` environment variable.
Does NOT prompt for password, requires setting `PT_PASSWORD` environment variable.
### vim plugin
Tested under Linux with vim 8.0 and 8.1. under x86, x64, and arm 32-bit.
See [pt.vim](integrations/vim/pt.vim) - Linux/Unix/Cygwin only for now.
By default uses `ptcipher` in path, override via `PTCIPHER_EXE` environment variable.
Will prompt for password, which can be skipped by setting `PT_PASSWORD` environment variable.
#### vim demo
Assuming puren_tonbo has been installed and `ptcipher` is in the
path (and in source code checkout):vim -u pt.vim puren_tonbo/tests/data/aesop.chi
And enter in the test password, `password`.
#### vim plugin install
As per example above, can use the `-u` parameter but this overrides existing settings.
Vim 8 supports plugins packs, to install:
#### vim plugin install linux/unix
If you do not already have any plugin packs, need to create directory, e.g.:
mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/bundle/start/
Where `bundle` is user decided. For the rest of the documentation replace `bundle` with your directory name.
Install from checkout:
mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/bundle/start/puren_tonbo/plugin/
cp pt.vim ~/.vim/pack/bundle/start/puren_tonbo/plugin/Then can call vim without `-u`:
vim puren_tonbo/tests/data/aesop.chi
gvim puren_tonbo/tests/data/aesop.chi#### vim plugin install Microsoft Windows
NOTE not working under Windows :-(
Appear to be buffered files issues with vim/python interaction.See linux notes, instead of `~/.vim` use %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles (or `$VIM_INSTALLATION_FOLDER\vimfiles`)
mkdir %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles\pack\bundle\start\puren_tonbo\plugin
copy pt.vim %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles\pack\bundle\start\puren_tonbo\plugin#### vim config notes
See https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Encryption for how to configure vim with external tools for (view and edit) of encrypted files with autocmd.
NOTE under Windows buffered IO can interfere with vim interactions.
TODO consider using (OpenSSL) https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2012 as a model for vim plugin (uses functions), also see:* https://aweirdimagination.net/2019/03/24/encrypted-files-in-vim/ https://git.aweirdimagination.net/perelman/openssl.vim

Puren Tonbo is implemented in Python, with support for Python 3.x and 2.7.
### Run test suite
python -m puren_tonbo.tests.testsuite
python -m puren_tonbo.tests.testsuite -v 2>&1 |grep -i skipped### High Level Overview
All encryption/decryption is file object based.
Low level routines (EncryptedFile) use file-like objects, for in-memory encryption/decryption use BytesIO
(see test suite, `puren_tonbo/tests/testsuite.py`).There is also the note abstraction (FileSystemNotes) which is filename based.
Simple file-like API available with:
* `FileLike` class which wraps a file object using a Puren Tonbo file (encryption) object
* `pt_open()` which is similar to the regular Python open() function but will read/write encrypted files. File type is determined by file extension. Unrecognized file extension treated as raw (text).Quick demo:
import os
import puren_tonbo
# read
pt_root_dir = os.path.dirname(puren_tonbo.__file__)
test_filename = os.path.join(pt_root_dir, 'tests', 'data', 'aesop.chi')
print(test_filename)open = puren_tonbo.pt_open # monkey patch time!
with open(test_filename) as f:
print('%r' % f.read())f = open(test_filename)
print('%r' % f.read())
f.close()# write
test_filename = 'test.zip'
f = open(test_filename, 'w')
f.write('hello')
f.close()## Thanks

TODO padlock and case insensitive ic in prompt - Windows terminal 2, ConEMu (https://conemu.github.io/ https://github.com/Maximus5/ConEmu) etc.?
unlocked padlock for password present?
key for searching for encrypted files?
padlock for NOT searching for crypted files (or reverse?)
scite refuses to create new chi files if file was originally missing on open
new window/instnace (not tab), copy/paste and then close orig ad save as workaround seems to work
if file gets creted and scite reloads, still fails to save - trigger for successful load didn't reset trigger variable
ptig - with list of dirs, set shows note_root=None (ptconfig works fine)
