Good point.  I admit I think it would be cool to have an AES
implementation in the stdlib, but I don't see it as crucial.

I think does make sense, though, to have a package that is maintained
separately that python-dev pseudo endorses (like PyXML and win32all) that
contains all of this crypto stuff.
