Couldn't you use the 'array' module to create a character array which then you could manually dump garbage over? (making sure not to use any array convenience functions like "tostring" or what-have-you)

Maybe, but I doubt I could send arrays to functions that expect Python strings. I got a message from Rich Satz on pycrypto with a C module that will clear a Python string along with permission to use it in Twisted. I'll commit it when I use it in conch. -p -- Paul Swartz (o_ http://twistedmatrix.com/users/z3p.twistd/ //\ z3p@twistedmatrix.com V_/_ AIM: Z3Penguin
