Not tested with other versions, though I don't foresee any problems. It works with Python 2.4 as well as Python 2.5 and later. I've used the same ( gpg.exe/ iconv.dll) approach with systems written in other languages, e.g. SWIG-based solutions, or solutions which require building with MinGW/ MSYS), which I considered and experimented with. This approach was a lot less painful than the others (e.g. If you can't wait, go with Traugott's module and modify it yourself - it wasn't too much work to make it work with the subprocess module. At some point, perhaps in the next couple of weeks, I hope to be able to tidy it up, add some more unit tests (I don't have any unit tests for sign/verify, for example) and release it (either under the original P圜rypto licence or a similar commercial-friendly license). The module I've got is not ideal to show right now, because it includes some other stuff which shouldn't be there - which means I can't release it as-is at the moment. public keys received from a partner company) Import keys from an external source (e.g.Key management - generation, listing, export etc.It works fine under Windows, at least for my purposes - I use it to do the following: I have a version ( gnupg.py) derived from Traugott's GPG.py, which uses the subprocess module. Although originally part of P圜rypto, it is completely independent of the other parts of P圜rypto and needs only gpg.exe/iconv.dll in order to work. It's available here, but as-is it's not suitable for Windows because it uses os.fork(). There's a module GPG.py which was originally written by Andrew Kuchling, improved by Richard Jones and improved further by Steve Traugott. No changes to the registry are needed, and everything (executables and data files) can be confined to a single folder if you want. You don't need to do a full installation on end-user machines - just gpg.exe and iconv.dll from the distribution are sufficient, and you just need to have them somewhere in the path or accessed from your Python code using a full pathname. Instead, why not avoid the rabbit-holes and do what I did? Use gnupg 1.4.9. You don't need P圜rypto or PyMe, fine though those packages may be - you will have all kinds of problems building under Windows.
