That’s pretty definitive: the cryptography module is developed by volunteers that have neither the time nor inclination to support existing users.

The only reasonable options are porting to something else or forking the module.

That’s been my experience with everything I’ve written or maintained in python, which is why I no longer consider using it for new projects.

It’s too bad. I dusted off some old python 2 scripts today, and (thanks to the frozen in time interpreter/modules) they worked fine.

Python itself doesn't actually support these architectures! It just happens to work, and well they broke it. IDK what else you'd expect.
