Add support for encryption #2

Closed fpietrosanti closed 10 years ago

As far as i understand the current capabilities of OpenPGP-Python are:

So currently it lacks support for doing "Encryption" operations.

It would be very useful to add support for Encryption, to be used on files.

Encryption should be done with "streaming" in order to avoid data buffering of big chunk of data.

That would be useful as a step to make it suitable with GlobaLeaks as a Python-GnuPG replacement https://github.com/globaleaks/GlobaLeaks/issues/860

This is very much on my todo list. Most of my libraries have it, but I haven't put it into the python stuff yet.
