  I'm also using gpgme (not in python but directly in C) and I think
this should work. You create a new gpgmectx and later you free it...
this should work.

  As fas as I know there isn't any more needed initialization in
gpgmectx. That's why calling gpgme_release just after gpgme_new should
work.

  
BTW: right now I'm working with a slightly modified version of gpgme (I
have only modified verify.c, encrypt.c and decrypt..c files, so this
shouldn't affect your problem). I have sent the patch to Werner, but he
hasn't replied me. I have modifyed these functions because it was not
possible to call sequentially two or more of these functions using the
same context.
