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

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

This kind of thing should be a pypi package.  The process for getting something included in the standard library includes it being available on pypi, as well as a widespread need for the functionality, and even then it is not easy to get something included.  There have been various discussions around crypto support in the stdlib, so anything along these lines need to be part of that wider discussion, mostly likely on python-ideas (I'm sure there must be previous threads there about crypto).

(As an aside: 3.6 beta is in two weeks, so there'd be no time even if this was a good idea.)
