You can try pycrypto if you want. What OS do you use?<br>
Unfortunately, I could not find an installer for Windows, but <br>
I created my own - mail me if you want it. Installing on BSD<br>
and Linux is quite easy. <br>
<br>
With the pycrypto library, you can use several famous block <br>
ciphers like AES, BlowFish etc. - these are for private key <br>
encryption. It can do public key cryptography (RSA) and <br>
digital signatures (RSA & DSA) too. However, this lib is <br>
NOT SSL compatible. It has a documentation but you can <br>
find examples on the net too. This may or may not be the <br>
library you need. It depends on your needs. There are many <br>
others:<br>
<br>
ezPyCrypto, yawPyCrypto, PyOpenSSL <br>
<br>
- please look for them on google, they are easy to find.<br>
<br>
I choose PyCrypto because it can be compiled almost anywhere <br>
and it is easy to use. But for example, PyOpenSSL can give you <br>
full control over the OpenSSL library. However, you must be <br>
familiar with OpenSSL to use it.<br>
<br>
Well, none of those libraries are part of Python 2.3. I think this is <br>
partly because it would not allow Python to be used in some <br>
countries. (These can do strong encryption.) Conclusion: there <br>
is no obvious replacement for you.<br>
<br>

Is an alternative to rotor planned?

If the goal is simple obfuscation (and not encryption) then the base64
module might work:
