I am a lurker in this list and the python-devel list and I've also noticed that increasingly big discussions happen over fairly minor things. Python's DB API is still stuck at 2.0 and we can't even agree on a single parameter style while C# is innovating and moving ahead with the "big picture" stuff. I mean who really cares what's the exact syntax for the ternary operator. Python's white space significance was a shock when I first learnt python. I have learnt to live with it because there are a lot other things to like about the language. I'll live with whatever final decision on the ternary syntax or whether "and" and "or" should a boolean or the last expression. I'd like to see the DB API move forward, and experimental new innovations like static typing (with automatic type inferencing), stackless python etc. If the experiments don't survive, fine. It's still better than quibbling over minor syntactic detail.

My memory may not be perfect but I remember reading that Python 2.5's focus is libraries and no language changes. If that's correct, I can understand why core python folks are more interested in discussing language features for Python 3000 ;-). Speaking of libraries, I haven't seen many discussions on libraries in python-dev. Is there some other list with more discussions on libraries?

I wish python would soon get a byte array type. For now I find numarray to
be very convenient to do stuff like this.
import numarray
b = (numarray.array(a, type = 'u1') ^ 255).tostring()
It's also significantly faster for large byte array sizes.

Looks like you just want to obfuscate the string. How about this?
import base64
text = 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocius'
open('sambleb.conf', 'w').write(base64.encodestring(text))

It depends on the requirement. If the intention is to just to
discourage someone with messing around with some config
settings, it's good enough. If the user can figure out that
it's base64 encoded and takes pains to decode, modify, encode
and save it back, then he's earned the right to mess around
