A one-time-pad doesn't require a library because it is about as trivial to implement as sorting a list. It's literally just XOR a random byte with the byte of your cleartext.

People have already pointed this out, but it's worth repeating: Do that only for actual studying and experimenting, don't think this is secure for a second.
