A new library called pagesign (Python-age-sign) has been released on PyPI [1].
It covers similar functionality to python-gnupg, but uses the modern encryption tool
age [2] and the modern signing tool minisign [3]. The initial release allows you to:
* Create and manage identities (which are containers for the keys used for
encryption/decryption and signing/verification).
* Encrypt and decrypt files to multiple recipients.
* Sign files and verify signatures.
This release has been signed with my code signing key:

Fingerprint: CA74 9061 914E AC13 8E66 EADB 9147 B477 339A 9B86
Recent changes to PyPI don't show the GPG signature with the download links.
An alternative download source where the signatures are available is at [4].
Documentation is available at [5].
As always, your feedback is most welcome (especially bug reports [6],
patches and suggestions for improvement, or any other points).
Enjoy!
Cheers
