Note there's a PEP for crypto hash function API's and modules like hmac.py expect hashes to conform to it: http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0247.html You might want to bring your own API closer to it. Also, I think the PEP should be extended to include those OID lookup functions. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
