Python's MD5 and SHA-1 code is written in C, and is quite fast: python -m timeit -s "import sha; s = sha.new(); S = '*'*1000000" "s.update(S)" 100 loops, best of 3: 12.2 msec per loop python -m timeit -s "import md5; s = md5.new(); S = '*'*1000000" "s.update(S)" 100 loops, best of 3: 6.45 msec per loop are you sure it's really a CPU-bound problem? </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
