The Python standard library doesn't have to solve all problems. Although the slogan is "Batteries Included", we stopped including all batteries a long time. We try not to add new modules, especially complex and security-relevant modules like a generic crypto interface. The Python core developer team doesn't have any resources to design, create, and maintain a crypto interface. The ssl module is a bit special, because pip and other download tools need it. Without the ssl module, pip wouldn't be able to download packages over HTTPS. If you need cryptographic algorithms and primitives, then use the PyCA cryptography package. It's *the* recommended library for cryptography, and X.509.
