Installation

To install Py Encry, you need to have Python 3.12 or newer installed on your computer. The library is available on PyPI, so you can install it using pip.

python -m pip install py-encry

Usage

To use Py Encry, you can either use the API or the CLI. If the program is intended to be used in another project, the API is the way to go, the CLI is intended for quick usage from the command line.

CLI

To use the CLI, you need to install the package and then run the pyencry command. Note! The python package install folder may not be in your PATH, so you may need to add it manually. Just google your operating system and how to add the python executable folder to your PATH.

Once the package is installed, you can run the pyencry command. You can use the --help flag to get more information about all the available options.

pyencry -v
1.0.0b1

pyencry --help

API

To use the API, you need to import the py_encry module.

from pyencry import ImageHandler

handler = ImageHandler("<path_to_image>")
handler.encrypt("<encryption_method>", data="<data_to_encrypt>", key=<encryption_key>)
handler.save("<path_to_save_image>")
