If you mean a module in the distribution, the answer is no, for political reasons. There are a number of AES modules available on the net. Most are C extension modules which means you need to compile them, and if you want to deploy them widely, you need binaries for every target platform. There's a few pure-Python AES implementations but they are verrry slow. Here's something written in Python that uses the built-in sha1 module as a crypto primitive. Its security should be better than rotor and performance is reasonable for most applications: http://www.nightsong.com/phr/crypto/p3.py -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
