no validators ready, but a pure-python aes implementation is included in recent web2py, ready to be used as a slip-in if aes is not found on python path (faster because uses the underlying C implementation of the crypto library available). Look at gluon.utils.secure_dumps and gluon.utils.secure_loads for an implementation. it's what web2py is using for storing session in cookies. When you have done, share your validator, and I don't doubt that if no bugs are found it will be included as a standard in future web2py versions.
