I have written a python wrapper for GPGME as part of my work towards a
Mac OS X wrapper for GPG, which should make this sort of thing easier;
it also means that you don't have to make tempfiles, which are a bit
of a security hole, to say the least.
Currently, I don't have the key generation parts working at all, but
that's just because I'm lazy. It should follow straightforwardly.
I don't have it online or available yet, but I can arrange to have it
posted somewhere, if you're interested. It will take me a bit of work
to get it in a form where I'd want to give it to others, but not more
than a few hours' worth.
If you're interested, send me email.
