Last night I released 0.4.0 of johnnycanencrypt module for OpenPGP in Python. This release has one update in the creating new key API. Now, we can pass one single UID as a string, or multiple in a list, or even pass None to the key creation method. This means we can have User ID-less certificates, which sequoia-pgp allows.

I also managed to fix the bug so that users can use pip to install the latest release from https://pypi.org.

You will need the rust toolchain, I generally install from https://rustup.rs.

For Fedora

sudo dnf install nettle clang clang-devel nettle-devel python3-devel

For Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt install -y python3-dev libnettle6 nettle-dev libhogweed4 python3-pip python3-venv clang

Remember to upgrade your pip version inside of the virtual environment if you are in Buster.

For macOS

Install nettle via brew.

Installing the package

You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Now, you can import the module inside of your virtual environment :)

Note: In the future, I may change the name of the module to something more meaningful :)
