How confident are you lads in the python ‘string’ module?

For years I’d say that the PHP interpreter was the go-to for secure web coding. It was what people who had wide threat models used to build tamper resistant software.

Most of the lads at work seem to want to use python. Honestly, I have no objections. I feel more than qualified to implement the basics of application security in what I’m working on.

…I suppose a lot of what I currently don’t know and probably don’t have a ton of time to mess with is the python string module. Obviously I plan to do a bit of testing before putting it in, but if I have to check every line of source then it would be just easier to write my own. And if I end up having to write my own then I really shouldn’t be using python.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance h4ck3rs!

2600 for life!
