I use John the Ripper ('sudo apt-get install john' for Debian users, 
which I guess you're not, looking at your mail agent).  It's not a 
python program, and but assuming you want to use it on a Linux/Unix 
box, it should be easy enough to compile it as a standalone binary -- 
it doesn't seem to depend on any libraries except standard C libs.
