Is there a hope that we could get ever exported AES and RSA from
openSSL. I am interested in gajim (PyGtk XMPP client) which currently
uses for these two algorithms (and now only for them, the rest of
security is done through pyOpenSSL or native python methods)
python-crypto which contains its own C-implementations of AES and RSA. I
hate this independent (and I would expect not much tested and
maintained, certainly in comparison with openSSL library) solution.

There seems to me two solutions to this problem: a) to persuade you (or
somebody, I am not a C programmer) to implement bindings for these two
algorithms in pyOpenSSL, b) port whole gajim to m2crypto, which IIRC has
also only bindings for openSSL (not its own implementations). Of course,
I would prefer the first solution.

Is there a hope?
