- falcolas 13y agoDo you mean why is PyCrypto not part of the standard library? Export controls, mostly. From PyCrypto's website: "Unfortunately, cryptography software is still governed by arms control regulations in Canada, the United States, and elsewhere. The controls are fairly loose for free/open-source software, but they exist nonetheless."
- MagicWishMonkey 13y agoAhh, ok, that makes sense.
