Precisely why I though to use wipe() that way. The password is there in plain text as long as it has to and then one call of securePass.wipe() and its memory is overwritten. So I guess it is not possible in pure Python to lock the memory from being swaped? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
