How's this (untested): state = [A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H] magic = [0x428A2F98, 0x71374491, 0xB5C0FBCF, 0xE9B5DBA5, 0x3956C25B, 0x59F111F1, 0x923F82A4, 0xAB1C5ED5, 0xD807AA98 ] def P(state, i, magic): a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h = state[i:] + state[:i] temp1 = h + S3(e) + F1(e,f,g) + K + x temp2 = S2(a) + F0(a,b,c) # d += temp1; h = temp1 + temp2 state[(i+3)%8] += temp1; state[(i+7)%8] = temp1 + temp2 for i in range(9): P(state, i, W, magic) Actually this isn't so good. You have to be careful about arithmetic overflow, i.e. do all the additions mod 2**32, so you don't get Python longs. I'll leave that as an exercise. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
