Thanks for your bugreport.
The usage of sha256sum() with file objects is generally prefered, so
apt_pkg.sha256sum(open('Packages.gz')
should work.
However, there is a bug here somewhere because the string usage should
work as well. It does in my tests for small strings, it might be a
problem in the python<->c++ code with the string length, I'm
investigating that now.
