Hi, I have an armored private key and I want to extract from this an armored public key. Had a look openpgp.generate_key_pair which shows a way how to do that. But for calling signature.write_message_signature the private key needs to be unlocked.
Little bit of background: If a private key is imported in GPG it is ignored as the public key is missing. PGP Desktop handles that differently: you can import a private key and it is displayed as key pair in your keyring. On export a file with public and private part is created. This can be done without unlocking the private key. So I think it should be possible to extract a public key from a private one without unlocking. I like the flexibility of importing single private keys. Any ideas? Thanks, Thomas
