Seems that this is intended more for webapps or something, I intend to use this for a client application. This means that I can't require outside dependencies, or I risk annoying the clients (if you have installed many open-source projects with dependencies that aren't handled by portage/apt-get, you know what I would be doing to them). I seriously can't believe that there isn't a single python native crypto package. Why do they all need to have outside dependencies? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
