you're right... What I ran was this:

def PrepareHash(HashStr):
  while len(HashStr) > 0:
    byte = HashStr[0:2]
    print byte,int(byte,16),chr(int(byte,16)) # & 0xff
    HashStr = HashStr[2:]
  return byte

def Main():
  HashStr = "c17ce186ab94eeb0de8ae3b5b751a7c4d8e9edeb"
  HashStr = PrepareHash(HashStr)
  print "Prepared HashStr :",HashStr

Main()

Exactly... which is the problem.  I don't know what the heck the [byte]
in front of a variable does.  I may have to get into the java list.
YUK!

thanks.
