from what aspect do you consider this broken?

considering the fine research of Eran Tromer i'd say that what you are up to
seems to break things more than they were before you started "fixing" things.

Having used python-gnupg as the engine for openpgpkey-milter, I can
say that I'm not a big fan of python-gnupg (not to be confused with
python-gnupg from the freebsd ports selection which is a completely
different thing under the same name)

It's character encoding defaults are terrible, breaking every practical
key ring that has a non-ascii character in it. It is lacking many
gpg options (I had to add three, which at least did get merged into
upstream but it took 6+ months)
