seems like a good next step would be to create a python to compiled 
library implementation.  I'm still using the hashcash via commands route 
in Camram.  see class hashcash in
http://harvee.org/stamper/camram_core/modules/camram_utils.py

this is some of the oldest code in Camram dating back to what I was 
learning python.  I definitely need to change things to accommodate new 
features within hashcash.
