There's not many options when it comes to obfuscating python source. If you even do find a way to obfuscate it. It won't take much to reverse it. That's just how python works.

Honestly, the best thing you can do when it comes to writing crypto code is _not_ write crypto code. It's far better to instead use pre-existing, trusted, scrutinized, audited code. You'll probably be better served looking for a Python interface to OpenSSL, which will provide you with all the alg
