Hi Andrew, There's also pycrypto for doing RSA encryption: http://www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto I messed around with this for a little while but decided I didn't need it. ISTR figuring out that it does not implement any padding; is this perhaps the armour option you're talking about? I'm not a cryptographer and I don't even play one on TV, so the accuracy of this is probably even less reliable than an average Usenet posting...
