Why do you only look at US export rules when discussing crypto code in Python ?

Because only exporting matters. Importing is no problem: You can easily remove stuff from the distribution, by creating a copy of package that doesn't have the code that cannot be imported. That would be the job of whoever wants to import it.

Exporting also only matters from the servers which host the Python distribution, i.e. the US and the Netherlands.
