I don't understand why a pure python version of salsa20 would be interesting. Is there some application that uses salsa20, that's worth being able to interoperate with in pure python? If you just want a stream cipher in pure python (including its standard library), the fastest way seems to be able to use the sha module as a building block: http://www.nightsong.com/phr/crypto/p3.py -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
