I'm trying to get a handle on how python intersects with crypto-related export control laws in the US and elsewhere. My current understanding, per the PSF's wiki, is that any crypto related and potentially export-sensitive code is in the ssl wrapper, and that, in fact, this only links to the actual encryption implementation (presumably libssl or something.) One caveat is that windows installations may include the ssl implementation.
Does this effectively sum up python's exposure to export laws? On a technical level, does removing the ssl module from a distribution remove all references to encryption? Of course I'm not asking for actual legal advice, but can anyone think of any other part of the code that might run afoul of export rules? Thanks.
