   sha ->  hashlib
That needs to be a conditional import, with a fallback to the old sha
module:  hashlib is not present in python 2.4.  E.g.:
try:
     import hashlib
except ImportError: # Python<  2.5
     import sha
     _sha = sha.new
else:
     _sha = hashlib.sha1
and then use '_sha' in the code.
Depends on which Python versions we want/must support for the future. 
One option would to jump on Python 2.6 for the next releases (skipping 
Python 2.5 and dropping Python 2.4 support).
