By 'gpg2' I think you mean '/usr/bin/gpg2'.  Thanks for clearing that up.

Is there anything different about '/usr/bin/gpg' distributed with gnupg 
v2 that would allow gpgme's passphrase_cb mechanism to work?  Or is 
passphrase_cb something that only works with gnupg v1, and cannot be 
made to work with gnupg v2?

At this point, that's the main unanswered question for me, and a 
widely-known answer might help a number of pygpgme users.
