Folks: pycryptopp is a Python crypto library, so it could be considered an alternative to PyCrypto. However, pycryptopp offers very few algorithms. In fact, it only offers RSA, AES, and SHA-256. So if that's all you need, then great. I just released a new version of pycryptopp.
http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/pycryptopp 2010-09-18 -- pycryptopp v0.5.20 The following things are new in this release: * fix bugs in assembly implementation of SHA-256 from Crypto++ * fix it to compile on *BSD (#39) * improve doc strings * add a quick start-up-self-test of SHA256 (#43) * execute the quick start-up-self-tests of AES and SHA256 on module import Regards, Zooko -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
