We would not, for two reasons. Firstly, PyOpenSSL’s stated goal is of being a 
thin wrapper around OpenSSL’s APIs, rather than the full OpenSSL abstraction 
layer that the stdlib ssl module (claims to) implement.

Secondly, PyOpenSSL is now in maintenance mode: we’re aiming to slowly 
transition users to cryptography.io as it becomes more fully-featured and able 
to replace PyOpenSSL. We will still fix bugs and and will resolve glaring holes 
in features that cryptography does not have, but otherwise we’ve got a ‘no new 
features’ policy.
