Get .txt file from the available .pgp file(Data) and .asc file(Key)

Question

Using Python 2.17.12, Pycharm and Linux Ubuntu

Want to know how can I decrypt .pgp file to .txt file, using a key(.asc file) in Python Script.

Able to do it in python command line, but want to write a script for it.

Answer 1

import gnupg

gpg = gnupg.GPG(gnupghome='/path/to/directory')

imported key

key_to_import = '.asc key file'
key_data = open(key_to_import).read()
import_result = gpg.import_keys(key_data)

decrypt File

with open('.pgp file name', 'rb') as f:
    status = gpg.decrypt_file(f,passphrase='**appropriate_one**', output='.txt file name')

check status

print 'ok: ', status.ok
print 'status: ', status.status
print 'stderr: ', status.stderr

Worked for me, might help someone else.
