The “gpg” module is a python interface to the GPGME library: https://www.gnupg.org/software/gpgme/
“gpg” offers two interfaces, one is a high-level, curated, and idiomatic interface that is implemented as a shim on top of the low-level interface automatically created using SWIG.
This way we make simple things easy, while still providing the entire functionality of the underlying library.

PyME was created by John Goerzen, and maintained, developed, and cherished by Igor Belyi, Martin Albrecht, Ben McGinnes, Justus Winter, and everyone who contributed to it in any way.
In 2016 we merged a port of PyME to into the GPGME repository, and development will continue there. Please see the VCS history for the list of contributors, and if you do find bugs, or want to contribute, please get in touch and help maintain the python gpg bindings.
