One X.509 implementation to rule them all...

X.509 support packages in Python.
-There are several existing packages, none of which do quite what I
-need, due to age, lack of documentation, specialization, or lack of
-foresight on somebody's part (perhaps mine). This module attempts to
-bring together the functionality I need in a way that hides at least
-some of the nasty details. This involves a lot of format conversion.

+Once upon a time we were using four separate partially-overlapping
+implementions of X.509 and related protocols. Over the years this has
+collapsed down to one, but the interface module we built on top of the
+previous mess has itself become heavily embedded in the code base. So
+this is a bit more complicated (not to mention baroque) than one might
+expect for a module that had grown in a saner fashion. We clean up
+bits of it from time to time. Some day this may all make sense.
