On the wider subject of crypto in Python, is there someone who  
actively takes care of this area and who could clarify any legal/ 
export restrictions on what gets included with the source distribution?

There's good-quality, suitably licensed crypto code out there  
implementing most of the major ciphers, hashes, and asymmetric  
cryptosystems. I'd love it if we included a real set of crypto  
batteries with 3.0 that didn't depend on outside libraries, and  
provided more than just a hash or two. Doing the work isn't a  
problem. Is legalese?
