The GnuPG developers took the pyme codebase, adopted it, improved it, added a natively-pythonic layer above the C-style library, and renamed it to "gpg". This was released in gpgme 1.8.0, and was discussed heavily on the gnupg-devel mailing list. It is blocked from transition into stretch at the moment for thoroughly-unrelated reasons (see https://bugs.debian.org/846232). It is worthwhile to update the version of dput in sid to use the package that is maintained by upstream, rather than tying it to the less-maintained python-gpgme. thanks for reading up on this and for maintaining dput! --dkg
