Reading the documentation, I think either of these should work:
#1 encrypt data in a file
input_file = open('c:/test/filename.txt', 'r')
# notice that you open the file, but do not read from it.
encrypted_data = gpg.encrypt_file(input_file, 'ladym...@gmail.com',
output='c:/gpg_test/data.gpg2')
#2 encrypt data from a string
data = open('c:/test/filename.txt', 'r').read()
encrypted_data = gpg.encrypt_file(data, 'ladym...@gmail.com',
output='c:/gpg_test/data.gpg2')
It looks like the problem you have is that you are passing the output
file object, instead of just the file name.
If this doesn't solve your problem, please post the exact error message
in full, including the traceback, with the exact code you are using.

or
file_to_encrypt = open('c:/gpg_test/data.gpg2', 'w')
datae = gpg(f.read(), 'ladym...@gmail.com', output=file_to_encrypt)
Either way, I can't get the output written to a file, it gives me an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File pyshell#65, line 1, in module
datae = gpg.encrypt_file(f.read(), 'becky...@google.com',
output=open('c:/test/data.gpg2', 'w'))
File C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gnupg.py, line 583, in encrypt_file
if os.path.exists(output):
File C:\Python27\lib\genericpath.py, line 18, in exists
os.stat(path)
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, file found
This seems to say it needs a string or buffer, but a file was found.
Which says to me, you need to convert the file that is found to a
string before passing it as a parameter to a function. It might be
that output needs to be a string before it is used, so read the file
and string it. It's just a guess from what I see though.
Any thoughts? Would reallly appreciate the help.
If you aren't familiar with this and know of resources, it would be awesome.

According to theoretical physics, the division of spatial intervals as
the universe evolves gives rise to the fact that in another timeline,
your interdimensional counterpart received helpful advice from me...so
be eternally pleased for them.
