currently python3 does not have much in the way of built-in crypto primitives. in particular not even aes gcm which the ruby and js implementations use.
there's a tonne of crypto solutions in the pythonic wilds but all options I've encountered required a compile step which means in order to use this library the end user would need to have dockers installed. we considered shelling into Node but the newest Lambda runtimes for Python do not include it.

flagging as an issue to revisit in the future.
