If pypi would also sign the public key, and possibly the metadata for a particular release, that feature could be pretty cool.

why pip ?

    Hey


    I am currently writing a small script to verify that the gpg
    signature is correct when the --sign option
    is used with the Distutils upload command, and I was wondering why
    we don't publish the public key
    alongside the .asc file.

    Right now, unless I missed something, to verify a signature the
    user has to manually get the public key before she
    can control the tarball.

    Wouldn't it make sense to modify the upload command and add a
    .pubkey file alongside the archive file
    and the .asc file on PyPI ?  (since we don't have a notion of
    team/users etc.)

    Cheers
    Tarek
