Of course it is. This is what you need for your product. I would like to see
more proof of concept and less abtract suggestions...

If the directory tree is free of clutter or 'helper' python scripts/binary
python modules, then a search algorithm can be as trivial as a directory
search. Helper scripts or libs could be placed in a vanilla python path,
while only standard compliant modules would be placed in the python crypto/
dir tree.

I'm a big fan of a key ring. It could be written with shelve. I am not
certain about the specifics and would not want to reinvent the wheel on this
one. Any links anyone? (why am I asking? I'll search google.com. Has anyone
else noticed google is like humanity's motherbrain?)

It would be trivial to code API standard adhering implementations of specific
algorithms that in turn use OpenSSL's API. Anyone up to it?
