As a workaround, or temporary solution, you can also try to use the
commands:
    gpg --keyserver="$keyserver" --search-keys "$recipient"
    gpg --keyserver="$keyserver" --recv-keys <key_id> <key_id>...
for fetching the recipients that are not available locally.
Later you can replace this with Python code.
