Binary package hint: python-gnupginterface

duplicity can produce a traceback like this:

IOError: GnuPG exited non-zero, with code 131072

Regardless of the underlying error, the raise statement in python-gnupginterface is bizarrely wrong. It's probably intended to be a >> to get just the exit code, but even then it would be much better to use os.WEXITSTATUS. However, since gnupg could well terminate other than because of exit(), it's probably simplest just to print the whole wait status and let people decode signals, exit statements or whatever.

Duplicity backup depends on this module as well. When the correct shift is made, the error is 2, File Not Found, and refers to the non-existence of the ~/.gnupg directory and its necessary files. The workaround for this problem is to run gpg from the command line and let it create the files it needs, then GnuPGInterface will work correctly.

I've attached a patch that corrects this problem plus detabify's the source correctly. The source was a mess of tab size of 8 and indents of 4 which really screwed up editors that assumed tab size was the same as indent size.

Looking at the attachments in this bug report, I noticed that "Fix shit problem and detabify." was not flagged as a patch. A patch contains changes to an Ubuntu package that will resolve a bug and this attachment is one! Subsequently, I've checked the patch flag for it. In the future when submitting patches please use the patch checkbox as there are some Launchpad searches that use this feature.

I disagree with your assessment of the detab'ing. It was needed for
Eclipse's PyDev editor, and others, since the file had indent=4 and
tabsize=8. I had to detab in xemacs in order to get it to display
correctly in Eclipse without flagging indent errors.

Should I submit a different patch for this?
