Sure.  I myself didn't know there was much interest.

My own vision is a library that is lucid at every level.  Most
libraries I've worked with are focused on one kind of task,
and lower layers are a mess if they're exposed at all.

I'd like to have a pure-Python version.  For block ciphers and
other primitives where Python is a factor of hundreds slower
than C, the library should look for an extension module, but
fall back to pure Python if none is found.
