I'm pretty sure now that this is correct:  gpg2 password input cannot
be captured without the use of a gpg-agent.

That is right.  gpg2 conceptional does not know anything about the
passphrase.  This is all up to the gpg-agent.  Version 2.1 even removed
all passphrase support from gpg2.

By 'gpg2' I think you mean '/usr/bin/gpg2'.  Thanks for clearing that up.

Is there anything different about '/usr/bin/gpg' distributed with gnupg v2 that would allow gpgme's passphrase_cb mechanism to work? Or is passphrase_cb something that only works with gnupg v1, and cannot be made to work with gnupg v2?

At this point, that's the main unanswered question for me, and a widely-known answer might help a number of pygpgme users.

        John
