In 0.7.12 around line 140 of gpg.py, the code does something like:

if use_agent and gpg_version < 2.0:
        add '--use-agent' to gpg_options
if gpg_version >= 2.1
        add '--pinentry-mode=loopback' to gpg_options

So, '--pinentry-mode=loopback' is added regardless of
globals.use_agent, hence error messages which say "Can't get input in
batch mode". 

At my end I changed it to something like:

if use_agent:
        add '--use-agent' to gpg_options if gpg_version < 2.0
else if gpg_version >= 2.1:
        add '--pinentry-mode=loopback' to gpg_options
