I don't want to encourage people who know no better to pick ECB mode from a list of modes. But I do want to have access to a naked AES function for uses that aren't satisfied by any modes. Why not include a naked AES function, but don't list it among the optional modes and don't call it "ECB mode"? Call it "bare_AES" and specify it to raise an exception unless the data input is exactly one block long. Regards, Zooko
