[Twisted-Python] Twisted + tlslite

Hi Twisted folks,
I recently wrote an SSL library in python [1] and got it working with
asyncore. I'd like to make it useable with Twisted too. The library has a
few nice features, so it wouldn't be totally redundant with Twisted's
current SSL support:
- it can run in pure python (slowly)
- it supports some nonstandard authentication methods (SRP, cryptoIDs,
and shared-keys)
As a proof-of-concept I did some blunt-object surgery, and got Twisted's
pre-configured web server using it for HTTPS.
To do a real integration, though, I think I'd need help: I'm a Twisted
newbie, and Twisted looks tightly-coupled with PyOpenSSL. At least,
there's no easy way to "plug in" that I saw. In the mailing list there was
talk about Jython/Java SSL [2]. That would have the same issues, I think,
so maybe they could be looked at together.
Anyways, if anyone's interested in discussing the details, let me know!
Thanks,
Trevor
