A Python binding for the gpgme library, used to drive the gpg command

line program.

More information about gpgme can be found here:

http://www.gnupg.org/related_software/gpgme/

This binding stays fairly close to the C API with the following

exceptions:

 * Memory management is not exposed to the user

 * Functions like `gpgme_get_foo()`/`gpgme_set_foo()` are converted to

   attribute access on gpgme.Context objects.

 * Functions that take `gpgme_data_t` arguments take arbitrary Python

   file-like objects.  The `read()`, `write()`, `seek()` and `tell()`

   methods may be used on the object.

 * Non-zero `gpgme_error_t` return values are converted to

   `gpgme.GpgmeError` exceptions.

 * Only the synchronous versions of functions have been wrapped.

   However, the Python global interpreter lock is dropped, so should

   play nicely in multi-threaded Python programs.

 * Function pairs like `gpgme_op_import()`/`gpgme_op_import_result()`

   are combined into single method calls.

 * The Python version of `gpgme_op_keylist()` returns an iterator over

   the matched keys, rather than requiring the user to use a special

   iteration function.

library.
