You don't need anything else than RNCryptor:

import rncryptor

data = '...'
password = '...'

# rncryptor.RNCryptor's methods
cryptor = rncryptor.RNCryptor()
encrypted_data = cryptor.encrypt(data, password)
decrypted_data = cryptor.decrypt(encrypted_data, password)
assert data == decrypted_data

# rncryptor's functions
encrypted_data = rncryptor.encrypt(data, password)
decrypted_data = rncryptor.decrypt(encrypted_data, password)
assert data == decrypted_data

It provides semantically secure (random salt and IV for each encryption) encryption and includes secure integrity checking (ciphertext cannot be manipulated without noticing) through HMAC.

RNCryptor also has a specific data format so you don't have to think about that and implementations in many languages.
