[Edu-sig] MD5 in pure Python

Hi,

a long while ago there was a crypto thread here. I remember
having posted something about a pure Python MD5 implementa-
tion. As at that time it was a bit buggy I've not released 
it, then, but now I've put it into my Starship cabin:

  http://starship.python.net/crew/gherman/#md5py

This is reasonably tested against the built-in MD5 module,
but, of course, you should not use it for any serious pur-
pose!

Perhaps, this will help retrigger some crypto-activities?
(I've seen fancy proposals for Python Crypto-APIs, but not
much more.)

Regards,

Dinu
