No module named 'gnupg'

I consistently get 'ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gnupg'

Both gnupg and python-gnupg are installed (running python 3.9.9)

ProtonVPN authentication

Your scripts work flawlessly. Thanks. Possibly something to enhance. Running ProtonVPN on Endeavouros requires always authentication for accessing the VPN (password). Installing ProtonVPN on Manjaro and MXLinux does not have this. In addition, the username has to be given for the KDE wallet when starting protonVPN the first time. I'm not sure if this is something of your script or of Endeavouros.
