Description

https://wiki.python.org/moin/GnuPrivacyGuard
There are several principle ways to access GnuPG functions from Python: 1. use
the official GPGME library or do something more low level like 2. run the gpg
commands and pipe to them. The GnuPG initiative recommends using GPGME because
it provides a documented API.

Verify if the solution would also work in Windows as we plan toport the installer to this platform.

Alan might help in this area, I remember him researching that for the Whisperback code. I suppose it would make sense to use the same kind of code he did for it.
