One X.509 implementation to rule them all...
...and in the darkness hide the twisty maze of partially overlapping
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.
