"""Interface to GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG)

GnuPGInterface is a Python module to interface with GnuPG.
It concentrates on interacting with GnuPG via filehandles,
providing access to control GnuPG via versatile and extensible means.

This module is based on GnuPG::Interface, a Perl module by the same author.

Normally, using this module will involve creating a
GnuPG object, setting some options in it's 'options' data member
(which is of type Options), creating some pipes
to talk with GnuPG, and then calling the run() method, which will
connect those pipes to the GnuPG process. run() returns a
Process object, which contains the filehandles to talk to GnuPG with.

Example code:

>>> import GnuPGInterface
>>>
>>> plaintext  = "Three blind mice"
>>> passphrase = "This is the passphrase"
>>>
>>> gnupg = GnuPGInterface.GnuPG()
>>> gnupg.options.armor = 1
>>> gnupg.options.meta_interactive = 0
>>> gnupg.options.extra_args.append('--no-secmem-warning')
>>>
>>> # Normally we might specify something in
>>> # gnupg.options.recipients, like
>>> # gnupg.options.recipients = [ '0xABCD1234', '[e-mail]' ]
>>> # but since we're doing symmetric-only encryption, it's not needed.
>>> # If you are doing standard, public-key encryption, using
>>> # --encrypt, you will need to specify recipients before
>>> # calling gnupg.run()
>>>
>>> # First we'll encrypt the test_text input symmetrically
>>> p1 = gnupg.run(['--symmetric'],
...                create_fhs=['stdin', 'stdout', 'passphrase'])
>>>
>>> p1.handles['passphrase'].write(passphrase)
>>> p1.handles['passphrase'].close()
>>>
>>> p1.handles['stdin'].write(plaintext)
>>> p1.handles['stdin'].close()
>>>
>>> ciphertext = p1.handles['stdout'].read()
>>> p1.handles['stdout'].close()
>>>
>>> # process cleanup
>>> p1.wait()
>>>
>>> # Now we'll decrypt what we just encrypted it,
>>> # using the convience method to get the
>>> # passphrase to GnuPG
>>> gnupg.passphrase = passphrase
>>>
>>> p2 = gnupg.run(['--decrypt'], create_fhs=['stdin', 'stdout'])
>>>
>>> p2.handles['stdin'].write(ciphertext)
>>> p2.handles['stdin'].close()
>>>
>>> decrypted_plaintext = p2.handles['stdout'].read()
>>> p2.handles['stdout'].close()
>>>
>>> # process cleanup
>>> p2.wait()
>>>
>>> # Our decrypted plaintext:
>>> decrypted_plaintext
'Three blind mice'
>>>
>>> # ...and see it's the same as what we orignally encrypted
>>> assert decrypted_plaintext == plaintext, \
          "GnuPG decrypted output does not match original input"
>>>
>>>
>>> ##################################################
>>> # Now let's trying using run()'s attach_fhs paramter
>>>
>>> # we're assuming we're running on a unix...
>>> input = open('/etc/motd')
>>>
>>> p1 = gnupg.run(['--symmetric'], create_fhs=['stdout'],
...                                 attach_fhs={'stdin': input})
>>>
>>> # GnuPG will read the stdin from /etc/motd
>>> ciphertext = p1.handles['stdout'].read()
>>>
>>> # process cleanup
>>> p1.wait()
>>>
>>> # Now let's run the output through GnuPG
>>> # We'll write the output to a temporary file,
>>> import tempfile
>>> temp = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
>>>
>>> p2 = gnupg.run(['--decrypt'], create_fhs=['stdin'],
...                               attach_fhs={'stdout': temp})
>>>
>>> # give GnuPG our encrypted stuff from the first run
>>> p2.handles['stdin'].write(ciphertext)
>>> p2.handles['stdin'].close()
>>>
>>> # process cleanup
>>> p2.wait()
>>>
>>> # rewind the tempfile and see what GnuPG gave us
>>> temp.seek(0)
>>> decrypted_plaintext = temp.read()
>>>
>>> # compare what GnuPG decrypted with our original input
>>> input.seek(0)
>>> input_data = input.read()
>>>
>>> assert decrypted_plaintext == input_data, \
           "GnuPG decrypted output does not match original input"

To do things like public-key encryption, simply pass do something
like:

gnupg.passphrase = 'My passphrase'
gnupg.options.recipients = [ '[e-mail]' ]
gnupg.run( ['--sign', '--encrypt'], create_fhs=..., attach_fhs=...)

Here is an example of subclassing GnuPGInterface.GnuPG,
so that it has an encrypt_string() method that returns
ciphertext.

>>> import GnuPGInterface
>>>
>>> class MyGnuPG(GnuPGInterface.GnuPG):
...
...     def __init__(self):
...         GnuPGInterface.GnuPG.__init__(self)
...         self.setup_my_options()
...
...     def setup_my_options(self):
...         self.options.armor = 1
...         self.options.meta_interactive = 0
...         self.options.extra_args.append('--no-secmem-warning')
...
...     def encrypt_string(self, string, recipients):
...        gnupg.options.recipients = recipients   # a list!
...
...        proc = gnupg.run(['--encrypt'], create_fhs=['stdin', 'stdout'])
...
...        proc.handles['stdin'].write(string)
...        proc.handles['stdin'].close()
...
...        output = proc.handles['stdout'].read()
...        proc.handles['stdout'].close()
...
...        proc.wait()
...        return output
...
>>> gnupg = MyGnuPG()
>>> ciphertext = gnupg.encrypt_string("The secret", ['0x260C4FA3'])
>>>
>>> # just a small sanity test here for doctest
>>> import types
>>> assert isinstance(ciphertext, types.StringType), \
           "What GnuPG gave back is not a string!"

Here is an example of generating a key:
>>> import GnuPGInterface
>>> gnupg = GnuPGInterface.GnuPG()
>>> gnupg.options.meta_interactive = 0
>>>
>>> # We will be creative and use the logger filehandle to capture
>>> # what GnuPG says this time, instead stderr; no stdout to listen to,
>>> # but we capture logger to surpress the dry-run command.
>>> # We also have to capture stdout since otherwise doctest complains;
>>> # Normally you can let stdout through when generating a key.
>>>
>>> proc = gnupg.run(['--gen-key'], create_fhs=['stdin', 'stdout',
...                                             'logger'])
>>>
>>> proc.handles['stdin'].write('''Key-Type: DSA
... Key-Length: 1024
... # We are only testing syntax this time, so dry-run
... %dry-run
... Subkey-Type: ELG-E
... Subkey-Length: 1024
... Name-Real: Joe Tester
... Name-Comment: with stupid passphrase
... Name-Email: [e-mail]
... Expire-Date: 2y
... Passphrase: abc
... %pubring foo.pub
... %secring foo.sec
... ''')
>>>
>>> proc.handles['stdin'].close()
>>>
>>> report = proc.handles['logger'].read()
>>> proc.handles['logger'].close()
>>>
>>> proc.wait()

      Attribute-setting in options determines
      the command-line options used when calling GnuPG.

    """Calls GnuPG with the list of string commands gnupg_commands,
    complete with prefixing dashes.
    For example, gnupg_commands could be
    '["--sign", "--encrypt"]'
    Returns a GnuPGInterface.Process object.

    args is an optional list of GnuPG command arguments (not options),
    such as keyID's to export, filenames to process, etc.

        create_fhs is an optional list of GnuPG filehandle
        names that will be set as keys of the returned Process object's
        'handles' attribute.  The generated filehandles can be used
        to communicate with GnuPG via standard input, standard output,
        the status-fd, passphrase-fd, etc.

        Valid GnuPG filehandle names are:
          * stdin
          * stdout
          * stderr
          * status
          * passphase
          * command
          * logger

        The purpose of each filehandle is described in the GnuPG
        documentation.

        attach_fhs is an optional dictionary with GnuPG filehandle
        names mapping to opened files.  GnuPG will read or write
        to the file accordingly.  For example, if 'my_file' is an
        opened file and 'attach_fhs[stdin] is my_file', then GnuPG
        will read its standard input from my_file. This is useful
        if you want GnuPG to read/write to/from an existing file.
    For instance:

        f = open("encrypted.gpg")
            gnupg.run(["--decrypt"], attach_fhs={'stdin': f})

        Using attach_fhs also helps avoid system buffering
        issues that can arise when using create_fhs, which
        can cause the process to deadlock.

        If not mentioned in create_fhs or attach_fhs,
    GnuPG filehandles which are a std* (stdin, stdout, stderr)
        are defaulted to the running process' version of handle.
    Otherwise, that type of handle is simply not used when calling GnuPG.
    For example, if you do not care about getting data from GnuPG's
    status filehandle, simply do not specify it.

    run() returns a Process() object which has a 'handles'
        which is a dictionary mapping from the handle name
        (such as 'stdin' or 'stdout') to the respective
        newly-created FileObject connected to the running GnuPG process.
    For instance, if the call was

          process = gnupg.run(["--decrypt"], stdin=1)

    after run returns 'process.handles["stdin"]'
        is a FileObject connected to GnuPG's standard input,
    and can be written to.

    pid -- The PID of the spawned GnuPG process.
    Useful to know, since once should call
    os.waitpid() to clean up the process, especially
    if multiple calls are made to run().
