I checked and the python3-dkim doesn't provide an API to support this request. In theory I could retrieve the key record in the milter and check, but that seems like a poor way to go about it. I've cloned the bug to dkimpy.
Also, there's no programmatic way to report this in an A-R header. Currently it would have to be in a (comment) which isn't so great either.
For background, all through the period Yahoo! was supporting the predecessor DomainKeys protocol they always had t=y, which was ridiculous and people started ignoring the flag. In the decade I've been maintaining dkimpy this is the first time it's come up.
Still, it's a reasonable request and dkimpy should support the protocol as defined.
