But why salsa20 in that case, unless it's approved as a standard? If you're willing to put up with terrible performance in the fallback implementation, you may as well use AES, which is a standard. If you want reasonable performance in the fallback implementation, use one of the hashlib functions as a cipher. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
