| 24 | Hardcore cypherpunks will probably find the cryptographic modules written by |
| 25 | A.M. Kuchling of further interest; the package contains modules for various |
| 26 | encryption algorithms, most notably AES. These modules are not distributed with |
| 27 | Python but available separately. See the URL |
