If you use pubkeys.txt from https://www.python.org/static/files/pubkeys.txt, 
then GPG verification gives you no additional security. An attack with write 
access to www.python.org or access to the private key of www.python.org can 
easily replace the pubkeys.txt with a key file under his control. You only get 
additional security if you retrieve the key from a different location *and* 
verify that the key owned by Łukasz.
