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.
