How to use the Windows CryptoAPI from Python?

Question

I am looking at using the Windows CryptoAPI from Python, but I can't find any existing modules for it - the win32crypt module that comes as part of the win32all suite only exposes a couple of high level functions that are of no use to me.

Are there any existing modules that wrap the CryptoAPI? Searching PyPi has come up with zip. Failing that example code on calling the API from ctypes, cython etc would be useful.
