pyOpenSSL has the advantage of already providing all the other
bits and pieces needed to interface and build against OpenSSL,
so it's a good ecosystem for such a development.
Besides there are already patches available which do add the
ciphers and hashs to pyOpenSSL, so the development could be
sped up by using those as references.

The APIs should probably be discussed on the Python crypto or
pyOpenSSL list and the discussion about its integration into the
stdlib on either the python-dev or the stdlib list.

python-ideas is not really meant for such discussions. |
