* Keyring separation :keyseparation:
** TODO in GPG.gen_key() :keyseparation:gen_key:
It would be nice to have an option for gen_key() [[gnupg.py:927]] to
automatically switch before key generation to a new tempfile.mkdtemp()
directory, with a new keyring and secring, and then to rename either the
directory or the keyrings with the long keyid of the key which was freshly
generated.
* I/O :io:
** TODO in GPG.__make_args() :io:makeargs:
It would be nice to make the file descriptors for communication with the GnuPG
process configurable, and not the default, hard-coded 0=stdin 1=stdout
2=stderr.
* Key editing :editkey:
** TODO add '--edit-key' feature :editkey:
see :compatibility:gen__key_input:
* Compatibility between GnuPG versions :compatibility:
** TODO GnuPG>=2.1.0 won't allow key generation with preset passphrase
*** TODO in GPG.gen__key_input() :compatibility:gen_key_input:
In the docstring of GPG.gen__key_input() [[gnupg.py:1068]], for the parameter
'passphrase', it is explained that:
:param str passphrase: The passphrase for the new key. The default is
to not use any passphrase. Note that
GnuPG>=2.1.x will not allow you to specify a
passphrase for batch key generation -- GnuPG
will ignore the ``passphrase`` parameter, stop,
and ask the user for the new passphrase.
However, we can put the command '%no-protection'
into the batch key generation file to allow a
passwordless key to be created, which can then
have its passphrase set later with '--edit-key'.
If we add a GnuPG version detection feature (the version string is already
obtained in GPG.___init___() [[gnupg.py:407]]), then we can automatically chain
GPG.gen__key_input() to another new feature for '--edit-key'. This chaining
would likely need to happen here [[gnupg.py:1146]].
*** TODO add '--edit-key' feature :editkey:
This would be necessary for adding a passphrase to the key after passwordless
generation in GnuPG>=2.1.0.
* Code cleanup :cleanup:
** TODO in parsers.__sanitise() :cleanup:sanitise:
Ughh...this is the ugliest code I think I've ever written. It works, but I
worry that it is fragile, not to mention *I* have trouble reading it, and I
fucking wrote the damn thing. There's probably not much that could be done to
make it more Pythonic, because type checks and input validation are pretty much
intrinsically non-Pythonic. But did i mention that it's ugly? I'm sure these
functions would be pretty glad to get a shower, shave, and haircut.
** TODO in parsers.__is_allowed() :cleanup:is_allowed:
There is a lot of madness dealing with stupid things like hyphens
vs. underscores, and lists of options vs. strings. This can *definitely* be
cleaned up.
