Python functions in classes are executed by the Python that is executing
bitbake, which doesn't have access to the modules in the native sysroot
(and won't, as any compiled modules in there are linked against the native
python, not the host python).
You can solve this by either mandating python-cryptography on the host, or
writing a standalone script that is executed using nativepython (which is
the python built by python-native).
