I just finished some code that adds PKCS#8 encryption to PyCrypto:

https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/pull/32

Incidentally, it will now raise an exception when you try to do:

k.exportKey('DER', passphrase='foo')

That happens because PKCS#1 is the default encoding and it does not support encryption, unless you combine it with PEM.

However, if you do:

k.exportKey('DER', passphrase='foo', pkcs=8)

You will obtain a private key correctly encrypted according to PKCS#8.
