62The modules described in this chapter implement various algorithms of
63a cryptographic nature. They are available at the discretion of the
64installation. Here's an overview:

84Hardcore cypherpunks will probably find the cryptographic modules
85written by A.M. Kuchling of further interest; the package adds
86built-in modules for DES and IDEA encryption, provides a Python module
87for reading and decrypting PGP files, and then some. These modules
88are not distributed with Python but available separately. See the URL
