Closest I've come to really embracing that kind of thing is https://github.com/serprex/pythonaes/tree/master/aespython

NB it really is faster

edit: nvm, Crumb is way more that kind of thing: https://github.com/serprex/Crumb/blob/master/C3.py I forgot I concocted that little devil

Are you expecting that code to be maintainable? It looks like it's been run through a minifier...

Nope, haven't had to maintain it in years. I did have to port it to Python3 which was a pain & grew it by ~30 bytes. The minifier was myself. It could actually be tighter but I optimized it for gzipability since I put it through a build tool to produce https://github.com/serprex/Crumb/blob/master/Crumb.py

I even did a C version https://github.com/serprex/Crumb/blob/master/Crumb.c which is a pretty boring implementation besides
