Comment:

 from_pycon: sorry for the delay in responding to this.

 I think it would be good to maintain both C and Python versions. In the
 long run we might find a Python implementation that is so efficient that
 we don't need the C version there (possibly a future version of PyPy), and
 in the short run we can use them for comparing results and "executable
 documentation". Does that sound okay to you?

 I agree that the API of #18 for the Python version and Crypto++'s
 {{{Seek()}}} method for the C++ version sound good.
