I'm not so sure about the "not documented at all" part.

http://pythonhosted.org/python-gnupg/#verification

I'm using verify_file() in another project:

but I agree it's not the most convenient API.

Although the VCS for the upstream code is not publicly available, their issue
tracker is:

https://code.google.com/p/python-gnupg/issues/list

and I've found them to be pretty good about responding to bugs and feature
requests.
