[New-bugs-announce] [issue27885] Add a Crypto++ Wrapper for when Someone needs to use Crypto++ things outside of C++, e.g. in Python Code

[Decorater]

New submission from Decorater:

So, I have Python Code that would be nice if the interpreter had a built in Crypto++ support. I am Suggesting for 3.6 to Add in this as it would be helpful for any Python Developer to do something like:

import cryptopp

And then doing the functiosn that Crpyto++ Provides for some needed and good Encryption Techniques that zlib lacks and hey the cool stuff is that Crypto++ Can be used after zlib is used so it can be beneficial to many people as it can save soem file sizes.

Also Crypto++ Seems to have some things that zlib has as well like Deflate, Adler32, CRC, etc. So that makes zlib not be the only thing to compute checksums.

Hopefully something like this could be possible but I do not see why not as it was done for zlib. I have no idea if crypto++ is windows only though but it is worth a test to find out.
