The gnupg package created and maintained by Isis Lovecruft
In 2015 Isis Lovecruft from the Tor Project forked and then re-implemented the
python-gnupg package as just gnupg. This new package also relied on
subprocess
to call the gpg or gpg2
binaries, but did so somewhat more securely.
The naming and version numbering selected for this package, however, resulted in conflicts with the original python-gnupg and since its functions were called in a different manner to python-gnupg, the release of this package also resulted in a great deal of consternation when people installed what they thought was an upgrade that subsequently broke the code relying on it.
The gnupg package is available under the GNU General Public License version 3.0 (or any later version).
