Lot of people. If nobody minds I'm going to go ahead and post a
link to this on python-crypto, since a lot of the interface emerged
out of discussions that group had at pycon.

I'd also urge folks who are interested in this to be vocal about
whether they like the API and where they'd like to see changes-
I'm open to suggestions and, as noted in the mailing list, am
reimplementing in C, so this is a good time to be talking about
where you'd like to see things go.
