Help with basic steps in an application design
2) Which cryptographic library would be recommended for this purpose? I've seen people using PyCrypto (https://github.com/pycrypto/pycrypto) which seems simple enough, but that one seems not maintained anymore. I've also seen keyring.cryptfile (https://github.com/frispete/keyrings.cryptfile) and pyca/cryptography (https://github.com/pyca/cryptography) but I'm not really sure if any of those should actually be used for my purpose?

Please Help. I have installed everything yet tnote dos note work, there is nothing on the net now.
The specific bug you are having is in this issue of PyCrypto. That said, tnote should move on as PyCrypto is no longer maintained.. Ideally, tnote could migrate to PyCryptodome which is a near drop in replacement for PyCrypto, so "potentially" a single line of code change.

pgcrypto question
In my experience, using the pgcrypto module is a little clunky - it's often better for the application to be responsible for encryption and decryption (using something like Fernet or libsodium bindings) and writing into a bytea column.

monero-python 0.99 is released, testers welcome!
Finally I managed to replace the slow pure-Python reference implementation of Ed25519 cryptography with pynacl which is a binding to libsodium, the industry standard lightning-fast C library.
