gpg --list-packets equivalent to fetch raw data size of the original file

[Siddhartha Bose]

Hello Everyone,

  Today I encountered a gpg file with size 90 MB and decrypted file size (original) is around 700 MB which is huge in terms of compression. And I have a limitation in size of file. 

gpg --list-packets <filename.gpg> gives me raw data bytes which I can further use to handle the decryption in memory rather than on disk.

I couldn't find in documentation if there is any way to check raw file size.

Thanks

Sid

I couldn't find in documentation if there is any way to check raw file size.

 Not in python-gnupg, there isn't.

Is there any other way to handle this? Or any possibility of adding this feature?
