17 ** GPGME Python Bindings HOWTO
19 Written "in house" by the GnuPG Project core team, the GPGME Python
20 Bindings HOWTO provides detailed instructions and examples for
21 using the Python bindings of the GPGME API with Python 3 code.
23 This HOWTO is available:

86 ** GnuPG Keysigning Party HOWTO
88 /Due to problem with the keyservers, this howto should be considered
91 Once you get familiar with GnuPG's mechanisms, you surely wouldn't
92 miss one of its funnest (and useful) aspects: to meet your Internet
93 buddies and get your key signed by as many of them as possible.
95 But having to check tens or even hundreds of keys at a meeting may
96 become quite frustrating. Here it is where this HOWTO by V. Alex
97 Brennen comes in handy. It is a guide to understanding and
98 organizing a PGP keysigning party. Keysigning parties help build
99 and strengthen the web of trust which serves to make the use of

116 /This howto might not be up to the current GnuPG version./
118 Firstly, because everyone should be using encryption and signatures
119 in their email. Secondly, because there are absolutely no reason
120 for you not to be using PGP-compatible software. Thirdly, because
121 documentation is mostly geared toward someone who is already
122 familiar with PGP. Fourtly, because we like to promote both GnuPG
123 and Mutt as free software project, for use in everyday
124 communications. Lastly, because Justin R. Miller likes writing
127 For all these reasons, you can find below a link to Justin's HOWTO
128 on how to send and receive cryptographically signed and/or
129 encrypted email with GnuPG and the [[http://www.mutt.org/][Mutt mail reader]].

140 various functions on the web, the desire to perform certain types
141 of server side functions on a PHP driven website also has its

145 most developers to decipher, or both; Piotr Masełkowski at
