note that pygpgme is an entirely different project.

Note that 'pyme' as available from MacPorts is likely the old pyme.  You
can grab and build the new 'pyme3' bindings from pypi, provided that you
do have all the build dependencies.  I'm not familiar with MacPorts, but
that might help with that.

(Despite the name, 'pyme3' also works with Python 2.7.  Originally, it
was only for Python 3, but we backported it.  'pyme3' was the working
title, and it helps to differentiate between the old and the new
binding.)

No, unfortunately not at this point.

'pyme3' has a high-level api with curated docstrings.
