http://www.nightsong.com/phr/crypto/p3.py It uses SHA1 in OFB mode and is fairly fast for a pure Python function. > I found a few modules out there, but they seem to be all but abandoned. > Most seem to have died several years ago.

Nice toolkit, more flexible and powerful than p3.py, but also more complicated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
