py_pgpwordlist
========================================================================

The [PGP word list][] is a list of words carefully crafted to allow
people to comminicate PGP key fingerprints and similar large,
hexadecimal strings via voice, while attempting to avoid or fix
typical errors.

This is a small Python library to make conversion between hexadecimal
strings and lists of PGP words easy.

The actual list of words is copied from Wikipedia (see URL above), and
seems to be copyright by the PGP Corporation and relased under the GNU
Free Documenation Licence  (no invariant sections), but  I've not been
able to find a proper source for this information apart from the
Wikipedia page.
