Or even (did someone suggest this) write the raw classes in C# and then

This latter approach is probably the one I would take.
That's the basic idea, yes. The trick is doing it in a way that's
compatible with the existing PyCrypto Python code, since it's about
50/50 C/Python, and I assume that David only wants to do half the work
:). That said, I could be projecting my bias about how this should be
done onto David, so I'll let him make that decision.
If PyCrypto was pure C and had to be completely rewritten I would
recommend just using namespaces as well - but it's not, so what's the
best way to leverage the existing PyCrypto Python code while replacing
the C code with C#? PyCrypto uses .pyd files, but it looks like
IronPython doesn't support an equivalent.
Ah - I didn't realise that PyCrypto was partly implemented in Python. I
would still probably do it by implementing the necessary C# and then
modifying the Python code to add references to the assemblies. That way
the Python can be reused with only minor changes.
