could you please post a link to it where a hapless victim can download ready to install packages for python 2.3/2.4 for macosx, linux and windoze.

A performance comparision would be nice too. (including md5, adler32, crc32 and fchksum)

check into the fchksum module, definitely difference in speed plus it doesn't require buffering the contents of the file all in mem.

of course I do mean the fchksum, it's not part neither of python.org's python nor of activestates.
