It does not implement cryptography itself but delegates to an external GnuPG installation, making it a thin interface layer rather than a cryptographic library.\n\nThe package is intended for developers who need to integrate GPG operations into Python applications\u2014managing keys, encrypting sensitive data, or verifying signatures. It supports Python 2.7 and Python 3.6 through 3.14, has no external Python dependencies, and installs as a pure-Python wheel. Maintenance is active, with the repository last updated in August 2026.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to integrate GnuPG operations into Python code and have GnuPG already installed on your system. The package is mature, actively maintained, has no Python dependencies, and carries no known vulnerabilities. It is well-suited for automation, key management, and signature workflows. Not suitable if you need a pure-Python cryptographic library without external tool dependencies."},"id":"python-gnupg","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-gnupg","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-gnupg.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-gnupg/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-12-31","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-gnupg","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A wrapper for the Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG or GnuPG)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":17637239,"position":1107,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.6"}
