Python gnupg (GPG) example in django also

python-gnupg is a Python package for encrypting and decrypting strings or files using GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG or GPG). GPG is an open source alternative to Pretty Good Privacy (PGP). A popular use of GPG and PGP is encrypting email. For more information, see the python-gnupg documentation. Another option for encrypting data from Python is keyczar.

Install

This installs the Ubuntu GPG package, creates a test user, and installs the Python package, python-gnupg. This was installed on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.
$ sudo apt-get install gnupg 
$ sudo adduser testgpguser 
$ sudo su testgpguser 
$ cd 
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages venv 
$ source venv/bin/activate 
$ pip install python-gnupg 

Generate a key

This creates a GPG key. This also creates the gpghome directory if it does not exist. You may need to supply random hardware activity during the key generation. See the docs for more information. To generate random numbers, you can also install the rng-tools package.
$ sudo apt-get install rng-tools 
import os
import gnupg

os.system('rm -rf /home/testgpguser/gpghome')
gpg = gnupg.GPG(gnupghome='/home/testgpguser/gpghome')
input_data = gpg.gen_key_input(
    name_email='testgpguser@mydomain.com',
    passphrase='my passphrase')
key = gpg.gen_key(input_data)
print key

Export keys

import gnupg

gpg = gnupg.GPG(gnupghome='/home/testgpguser/gpghome')
ascii_armored_public_keys = gpg.export_keys(key)
ascii_armored_private_keys = gpg.export_keys(key, True)
with open('mykeyfile.asc', 'w') as f:
    f.write(ascii_armored_public_keys)
    f.write(ascii_armored_private_keys)
(venv)testgpguser@mymachine:~$ cat mykeyfile.asc
