Module gpg

Python interface to GnuPG.

This module is used to invoke GnuPG to check the digital signatures on interfaces.

Classes
	Signature Abstract base class for signature check results.
	ValidSig A valid signature check result.
	BadSig A bad signature (doesn't match the message).
	ErrSig Error while checking a signature.
	Key A GPG key.

Functions

{str: Key}

load_keys(fingerprints)
Load a set of keys at once.

source code

Key

load_key(fingerprint)
Query gpg for information about this key.

source code

import_key(stream)
Run gpg --import with this stream as stdin. source code

(file, [Signature])

check_stream(stream)
Verify the GPG signature at the end of stream.

Function Details

Load a set of keys at once. This is much more efficient than making individual calls to load_key.

Parameters:

Returns: {str: Key}

a list of loaded keys, indexed by fingerprint

Since: 0.27

Query gpg for information about this key.

Since: 0.27

Run gpg --import with this stream as stdin.

Parameters:

Verify the GPG signature at the end of stream. stream must be seekable.

Parameters:

Returns: (file, [Signature])

(stream, [Signatures])
