I'm trying to feel out whether there's strong opposition to shipping a good set of built-in crypto operations with Python, and in a way that doesn't depend on external libraries. There are three reasons for opposition that I could imagine: - legal, in that there's uncertainty about what we can or can't ship. I can very likely get the appropriate assistance here to clarify the situation. - technical, in that no one has been willing to do the work of providing such a set of crypto ops, and/or of writing a PEP for them. - philosophical, in that folks think crypto shouldn't come bundled with the language. I'm volunteering to tackle the first two, assuming those are the actual problems. Are they? -- Ivan Krstić <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | http://radian.org _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
