Overlooked in python discussions is the reality that much of Python
is C or C wrappers to common system libraries.    Opening gpg is good
advice with  the additional comment that it is important to check all
the libraries and package dependencies.

What if /usr/bin/gpg was replaced by a hacker, what if you are in a chroot
limited world?   These worries should not stop you but should eventually
be addressed and need to be on the list that closes in on project
completion.
