Multithreading with GPGME Python Bindings

[Jan Girlich]

Hi,

I want to use the GPGME Python bindings in a concurrent way.

In the documentation of the Python bindings at
http://files.au.adversary.org/crypto/gpgme-python-howto.html I find no
mention of multithreading.

In the GPGME documentation at
https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gpgme/Multi_002dThreading.html#Multi_002dThreading
I find the note, that I need to call "gpgme_check_version" before doing
any multithreaded operations.

Then again I find only this section about version checking in the
Python binding's documentation:
http://files.au.adversary.org/crypto/gpgme-python-howto.html#gpgme-version-check
In this section the version check is done via a subprocess call to
"gpgme-config --version".

Is the call to "gpgme_check_version" maybe done implicitly by the
Python bindings?

Do I have to call "gpgme-config --version" before to safely do
multithreaded operations with the Python bindings?

Thank you for any insights,
Jan
