Encryption key lookup depends on location from where code is executed about pyce HOT 4 OPEN

@mkai your content-based approach on looking up the key would be an excellent contribution. I can't imagine a scenario (right now) where we wouldn't want that.

It has the added benefit of deduplicating the key dictionary / serialized data structure you may need to send over the wire to a production site for execution.

It is also directly related to our main approach of using convergent encryption in the first place.

I'd welcome this change to the codebase. I am also hoping to get some unit tests in place and CI off the ground so we can regression test inbound PRs.

Glad to hear! Working on it…

There might be one issue with content based approach.

How would you distinguish between multiple init.py files when most of them are empty (i.e., having same content)?

@dileep1996 I haven't deeply tested this or thought through all the corner cases yet. This summer I might have time to refresh the library though. I am slowly circling back on these issues and PRs.
