Using GnuPG to encrypt a file(s) on linux. Essentially two modes of
operation would be ideal:
You might find the GPG module useful but it is sadly no longer maintained
by AMK(since 2006). So it may not work in recent versions of Python.

There is mention of someone possibly picking it up...
There is also something called PyMe which is an interface to GPGMe
http://pyme.sourceforge.net/
1. Running something like “./encrypt.py inputfilename.txt” which will
output a file called
“inputfilename.txt.pgp”.
2. The ability to pipe input into “encrypt.py” and have it write out in
encrypted format.
Something like “echo thisistestdata | ./encrypt.py > encrypted.pgp”.
The use of stdin/stdout for piping and the use of command line arguments
are both covered in the 'Talking to the User' topic of my tutorial.
