[Tutor] encryption for files/passwords

[Rohan Deshpande]

Hey all,

I am writing a small python script to maintain some passwords and
identity info.  All the data is in an external file.  what is the best
way to encrypt/decrypt this file's data using a key? I am new to
encryption methods let alone how to do it in python.  I had a look at
python-crypto, ezPyCrypto and yawPyCrypto but they seemed overkill?

Thanks,
Rohan
