Not general, personal in the sence of my own opinion just like I have it 
wrote it.
Best for the OP because as you pointed out there was a written (although 
older) howto for s/mime which the OP could follow (as he requested), 
howto's for PGP icw Python is a bit rare, although I haven't googled for 
long.
