The problem with not authoritatively publishing one or more public keys for the 
Python tarballs is that no one will know for sure which key to trust. If you 
naively download the public key associated with a malicious tarball, you would 
trust it w/o realizing that it's malicious (assuming that the tarball 
developers themselves have not gone rogue).

I strongly urge the Python developers to use at least one official GPG key to 
sign all tarballs, and publish that on its web site (perhaps indirectly using 
Keybase).
