Hello,
I am trying to get some old plugins I wrote to wrote on anewer version of
rhythmbox.
When I try to load the plugin I see:

Chunks of data (about 2MB) are to be stored on machines using a
peer-to-peer protocol. The recipient of these chunks can't assume that
the payload is benign. While the data senders are supposed to encrypt
data, that's not guaranteed, and I'd like to protect the recipient
against exposure to n
How about a random substitution cipher? This will be ultra-weak, but
fast (using bytes.translate/bytes.maketrans) and seems to be the kind
of thing you're asking for.

Hi,
Consider the following calls, where very_long_path is more than 256 bytes:
