easy-aes is an ultra-lightweight, pure-python library for doing AES encryption. It draws heavily on the popular crypto library, simplifying AES encryption and decryption of files to a single function each.
Simple usage follows this pattern:
.. code-block:: python
import easy-aes encrypt_me = "my_transcript.pdf" output_file = easy-aes.encrypt_file(encrypt_me)
output_file is a string with the new file name.
WARNING: IF YOU FORGET YOUR PASSWORD AND DELETE THE ORIGINAL DATA, YOUR FILE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE RETRIEVED!
.. code-block:: python
import easy-aes encrypted_file = "my_encrypted_filename.aes" binary_data = easy-aes.decrypt_file(encrypted_file) with open('my_new_file.aaa','wb') as new_file: new_file.write(decrypted_data)
decrypt_file returns a Python object containing the now-decrypted data.
easy-aes works Python 3.3+. To install it, use:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install easy-aes
