how to use WKD with python3?

[Andre Heinecke]

Hi,

I'll try to answer this even though I don't completely know how to do it in 
python, but I know how it's done in C / C++.

you can do a keylist with KEYLIST_MODE_LOCATE for a single mbox. If python 
does not have that (it was added later this mode is KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERNAL | 
KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL)

So I think it would be:

ctx.keylist(some_uid, mode=(gpg.constants.keylist.mode.LOCAL | 
gpg.constants.keylist.mode.EXTERNAL))

or:
ctx.keylist(some_uid, mode=gpg.constants.keylist.mode.LOCATE)

You can force that only WKD is used in the keylist if you set the auto-key-
locate context flag (gpgme_set_ctx_flag) to "clear,nodefault,wkd".

Good starting points are usually our "run-foo" test tools under gpgme/tests. I 
usually use them as a starting point and example.
We maintain these tools because we usually use them when developing new 
features. ;-)

Best regards,
Andre
