Are there any libraries for encrypting data in python?

[L0m]

Preferably pip install-able but github is fine as well.

What kind of encryption? Encrypted zipfile? Encrypted folders like with BitLocker? A fully encrypted filesystem like ecryptfs? A fully encrypted block device like dmcrypt?

I used encryption lightly, really just anything that needs a password to access

How do you intend to use this? As in one-time pack it in an encrypted file, and then at a later moment unpack it, or do you need to do multiple reads and/or writes to the encrypted space? What's the usecase?

I was planning to encrypt/lock a file with sensitive data from a gui and when I need to access it again unlock it

Sounds like you just want to encrypt data and write it to a file.

Oh my god I suck at explaining things, that's exactly what I want to do. Let me rephrase the original post

That seems to be robust enough!
