pycrypto
command-line options
Usage:
beefish.py [-tkedaq] in_file [out_file]
-e - encrypt the provided in_file and write to out_file

examples
beefish can be used to encrypt and decrypt file-like objects:
from beefish import encrypt, decrypt
# encrypting
with open('secrets.txt') as fh:
with open('secrets.enc', 'wb') as out_fh:
encrypt(fh, out_fh, 'secret p@ssword')
# decrypting
with open('secrets.enc') as fh:
with open('secrets.dec', 'wb') as out_fh:
decrypt(fh, out_fh, 'secret p@ssword')
you can use a shortcut if you like:
# encrypting
encrypt_file('secrets.txt', 'secrets.enc', 'p@ssword')
# decrypting
decrypt_file('secrets.enc', 'secrets.dec', 'p@ssword')
you can use it from the command-line:
beefish.py -e secrets.txt secrets.enc
beefish.py -d secrets.enc secrets.dec
to use AES-256 cipher instead of the default, which is blowfish:
beefish.py -a -e secrets.txt
beefish.py -a -d secrets.encrypted
