You have run this little "hash" algorithm on a whole bunch of files, say C:\windows\system32 right? And how many collisions did you get? You've already rejected using the file path or url as a key because it could change. Why are you wanting to do this hash based on the file's path or url anyway? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
