Thanks Ken

I'm getting closer to making this work using the XOR cipher. Here's
what I'm doing.

<from python>

from Crypto.Cipher import XOR

obj_xor = XOR.new("string")
str_encrypt = "encrypt this string"
xored = obj_xor.encrypt(str_encrypt)
xored
'\x16\x1a\x11\x1b\x17\x17\x07T\x06\x01\x07\x14S\x07\x06\x1b\x07\t\x14'
obj_xor.decrypt(xored)
"bhxupds&oo`g'uou`z`" <== *confused by this output*

</from python>

Close but no cigar!! *grin*
