Hm, okay.
I must admit I have used both pyme and pygpgme with great success, but
relying on the gpgme docs, as these are quite complete and apply quite
well to the Python versions.
Another question I would like to raise is the performance --
python-gnupg seems to be a command line wrapper around gnupg, thus
having to fork() heavily -- does it affect processing of data?
