[Cryptography-dev] FIPS cffi bindings

[Scott Sturdivant]

Hi,

Would the cryptography dev team be accepting of a patch that added binding
support for the OpenSSL FIPS_mode, FIPS_mode_set, and FIPS_selftest
functions?  Reading Alex's thoughts on the matter (
https://bugs.python.org/issue27592#msg271008), my guess is "probably not."

Assuming that a patch would not be accepted, is there a way to somehow
build these bindings without requiring a fork of the project?  Would there
be a way for my library to specify some build arguments to cryptography?
The src/_cffi_src/openssl/crypto.py CUSTOMIZATIONS variable seems like a
good place for this to go, but I cannot see how to modify it during the
build process.

Thanks for the guidance,

Scott
