python-gnupg uses "gpg --with-fingerprint --with-colons FILENAME" -- is this supported?

fwiw, the scan_keys() function in python-gnupg isn't actually used by
anything in debian which depends on python-gnupg, according to:

    https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=scan_keys&perpkg=1

so from debian's overall system perspective, we could just go with this
"solution", as sad as it is:

This might make some people sad who are relying on this python API for
their private code, however.  Does PyME have a mechanism that would
perform the same functionality?
