I see three solutions here (except installing rust):

1) Stick to old cryptography/pyopenssl (if none of vulnerabilities
   impact revdeps)

2) Kindly ask upstream to switch to PyCryptodome

3) Write a library that implements cryptography API using PyCryptodome

The last option is kinda useless but fun. If you find it interesting,
contact me.
