BenM added a comment to T3505: Port GPGME's Python bindings to Windows.

On further thought, it's possible that something closer to what
Bernhard wants (and incidentally more along the lines of what I was
thinking of in some of our discussions just after the initial port)
might be achievable with Cython.

BenM added a comment to T3505: Port GPGME's Python bindings to Windows.

CFFI has no real means of generating the needed bindings on the fly
like SWIG does, except via its ABI methods, but those are inferior to
what SWIG does. It also can't handle all the ifdefs (or really any of
the ifdefs) in gpgme.h.

BenM added a comment to T4366: GPGME Key Generation Error .

GPGME 1.12.1-beta43 is nowhere near the current master. Current is around 1.12.1-beta130 (or above) and beta 43 would've been months ago, probably early November or late October.

BenM added a comment to T4191: gpgme python bindings test t-callbacks.py fails on 32-bit platforms.

I'll deploy one on AWS somewhere briefly once I've replaced a certain external keyboard, there will almost certainly be an existing image of some Linux distro in the AWS marketplace and I'd be very surprised if it took more than an hour or two of compute time to confirm.

Ooh, nice catch @dkg, I just stepped through each of your changes and it all looks good. I'll tweak the relevant sections of the HOWTO dealing with this in the next few days (I need to replace a keyboard here before properly diving back in) and then close this case once done.

Nesting the op_genkey() calls inside try/except statements with the exceptions being caught as "oops" and otherwise "oops" being set to None provides a means of checking whether the 2099 expiration is a problem and 2037 is not.

BenM added a comment to T4192: python gpg segfaults when first parameter to gpg.Context().op_genkey() is None or otherwise malformed.

Interesting, I'll look into it, but is there a reason for using op_genkey instead of create_key (optionally with create_subkey and/or key_add_uid)? The latter should be easier and more pythonic.

BenM added a comment to T3354: gpgme only builds against two versions of python at once.

This should already be possible, iirc the Arch Linux maintainer patched
it in. I believe there is a 'prepare' target that takes care of all the
preparations (duh), and then you can build for every Python version by
executing the Python build system with the Python version of your choice.
