Without using tempfile:

with open(osp.expanduser("~/.authinfo.gpg"), "rb") as f:
    status = gpg.decrypt_file(f, output=".authinfo.txt")
    info = netrc.netrc(".authinfo.txt")

I get the error:

NetrcParseError: bad follower token 'port' (.authinfo.txt, line 1)

which is interesting.  The structure of ~/.authinfo.gpg is:

machine my.server.com login user at foo.com password mypasswd port 587

so it seems this is not what netrc.netrc expects.
