Scripting languages support
===========================

The BPG project includes scripting wrappers for extending script programs
with OpenPGP functions. This feature both eases testing and provides BPG
functionality everywhere.

Contributions are very welcome here: just write and send to us a C
program compatible with your favourite scripting language and that
supports all functions in the given BPG library.

Ruby
----

Ruby is the first scripting language supported in BPG. Actually, all the 
BPG suite is tested using this wrapper.

To install the Ruby wrapper, type "make ruby" and "make ruby_install" in the
root directory of the project repository.

For a detailed explanation of its usage, read bpg_ruby(3), bpgkey_ruby(3)
and bpgtrust_ruby(3).

Python
------

Python language wrapper is not yet included. It's our intention to do it
soon.
