GnuPG frustration
Now I know why secure encryption hasn't made it into the daily use of the masses yet. When it isn't even possible to do simple things for developers, how are developers supposed to make it easy for users? Yeah, crypto is hard'n'stuff and I'm no crypto expert at all. But heck, there should be a working way for generating keys, encrypting, decrypting and signing messages using non standard homedirectories with python and gpg.
- GnuPGInterface.py: yeah, like wrapping shell commands in objects help. FAIL.
- python-pyme: FAIL. It barks loudly when I try to do anything else than what's in the examples.
- GPG.py: FAIL. http 404? c'mon.

It's so important to get frustrated, because being frustrated will keep you going on. You have to compensate that frustration by finding a solution, sometimes by yourself, but sometimes by the help of somebody else. But keep going on! Just doing a job could do anybody... And really look forward to what you may will discover! Those are the really satisfying moments.
