Yes, it's been done a few times, you should be able to find some with a web search. The ones I've seen are WAY too slow for most applications, like a few blocks per second. If you don't require using AES, there are some alternatives possible, like using the built-in sha module as the round function for a Feistel cipher, or using it in OFB mode as a keystream generator. I have some examples of how to do either of these, if you want to see them. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
