Somebody has to write and add a md6 wrapper to the standard library. It's going to take some time, at least 18 months until Python 2.8 and 3.2 are going to be released. Do you need a wrapper for md6? I could easily write one in about an hour. Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
