A quick google for other encrytion methods found this: http://www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto.html
What you will need to do is find an encryption methos that uses a key which you use to encrypt and decrypt the data.
You could get hold of something like GPG which has a command line interface and encrypt and decrypt that way....

Hi, I need to send secure data over an insecure network. To that end, I am needing to encrypt serialized data and then decrypt it. Is there a builtin way to do this in Python? MD5, SHA, etc encrypt, but I am not seeing a way to get back my data. Encryption is totally new to me, so any pointers of what to read up on would be appreciated.
As a side note, I understand that I could use https, but this would involve changing things that I may not be at liberty to change -- though if this turns out to be the best solution, then I'll find a way to use it.
Thanks
