Wow, I have no idea how that works, but I think it will do nicely. The main goal is simply to ensure that data coming in (from a website), is valid (ie. posted by me). The site is supposedly secure, and the code only accepts data of the type I expect, so the only security risk was someone posting bad data. This simple method should stop anyone from bothering to do even that. Kudos for writing the code in a way that I can see how it is used, even without documentation this is small enough to dissect. Thank you, I think we have a winner. (BTW, I have no idea how this whole encrypting gives many strings, decrypting all gives the correct one works, but it sure seems to work just fine, more fully featured than I even felt I needed.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
