this enables read_encrypted() in fantasy_pager.py
import os
from simplecrypt import encrypt, decrypt

passphrase = 'fantasea'
filename = 'fantasea.txt'
password = 'your_password'

def write_encrypted(passphrase, filename, plaintext):
    with open(filename, 'wb') as output:
        ciphertext = encrypt(passphrase, plaintext)
        output.write(ciphertext)

data = write_encrypted(passphrase, filename, password)
