I don't see why not. It's just the basic Python long arithmetic which is coded in C. I tested it against gmpy (carefully written asm code and tuned algorithms) and gmpy's modexp was around 4x faster, but Python's is plenty fast enough for many purposes. The 4x ratio is certainly lower than the usual ratio between Python code and C code. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
