age is a simple, modern and secure file encryption tool, it was designed by @Benjojo12 and @FiloSottile.

An alternative interoperable Rust implementation is available at github.com/str4d/rage

pyage-rust is a Python module for age, this is built on top of the Rust crate. I am not a cryptographer, and I prefer to keep this important thing to the specialists :)

Installation

I have prebuilt wheels for both Linux and Mac, Python 3.7 and Python 3.8.

python3 -m pip install pyage-rust==0.1.0

Please have a look at the API documentation to learn how to use the API.

Building pyage-rust

You will need the nightly rust toolchain (via https://rustup.rs).

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install requirements-dev.txt
maturin develop && maturin build

Missing items in the current implementation

I am yet to add ways to use ssh keys or alias features, but those will come slowly in the future releases.
