I'm trying to encrypt financial data to send as an email attachment. I'm on Windows 7. I'm using the latest stable version of web2py.
The issue is mainly that of installing an encryption package into web2py. Some of the packages I've found require building from C source -- I don't particularly want to do that. I'm looking for a straightforward and relatively easy way to include encryption capability into web2py.
