well there are lots of theory, but, I will try to give you a very quick summary:
There are two ways to encrypt information: using symmetric password
and using asymmetric or pairs of passwords.
Symmetric encryption is your classic, usual encryption. You have data,
you have a password. You encrypt.
Asymmetric uses a "pair" of keys, or a "pair of passwords" one public,
one private. Each person has a pair of passwords. One public to share
with the world, one private. If I want to send you information I would
encrypt the data with your public key so that you and only you can
decrypt it using your private key. And viceversa.
That was a very very very crude and basic explanation. Hope it helps.

it works, so that i can use it in Python as well.

Is there someone here, who can explain me how to generally use a
public/private key pair for api access? I really don't find a clear
explanation on the web...
Thanks for the help :)
