you don't know what an IV is you're probably getting yourself
into a lot of trouble working with low-level crypto libraries.
Two suggestions:
1. Describe what you're trying to do- I'll be able to help more if I
know what you're actually going for.
2. Try keyczar. It's not perfect, but it's a lot easier to get right.

IIRC this is mostly to help deal with the possibility of running on
older Windows machines, where the cryptographic random number service

Just use a precomputed table to do your trial division. There's a list
of the first fifty million primes on prime pages- if you aren't
dealing with specially constructed values (ie, RSA moduli) and haven't
found a factor by the end of the first ten thousand or so you probably
need to do a primality check before moving on to trying to factor it.

And this shows up in the above implementation; reimplementing it using
Fractions and a truncated continuing fraction approximation of phi and
the square root of 5 gets us up to about 500, at the cost of a very
long computation time.

At risk of being pedantic, I think you mean Descartes rather than De Carte.

You can insert those codes just like you would any other character. If
there's enough interest I can whip up a wrapper library for you.

I'm interested. If you are still serious about doing this in two months,
send me an email. If you have
something put together at that point we can talk about its future. Sound
fair?

Run the script as root and have it drop privs when it doesn't need them. Or
set up a separate daemon to do the rootish parts of it.

For X systems you can use xwininfo, ie:
from commands import getstatusoutput
def get_screen_dims():
status, output = getstatusoutput("xwininfo -root")
if not status:

Don't homebrew these things, they're easy to screw up and disastrous
to get wrong. Also, if you're worried about how secure something
you've written is, you can give yourself a little peace of mind by
running over it with some of the standard script kiddie tools before
deployment. It'll at least give you the comfort of knowing that they
won't be able to autopwn you for a while.

If you're in the market for a Python graph library, you may want
to check out Graphine- I'm obviously biased (I wrote most of it)
but it has a few more bells and whistles than kjbuckets, and is
pretty darned easy to use. It also supports undirected and
bridge graphs.
