Simply because I don't have anywhere to put it. This e-mail account
is at my workplace, and my employer doesn't run an anonymous FTP site. I
also don't have an account with a local ISP, just because I haven't bothered
to get one yet. Once I do, I'll certainly make the code available there.

Yeah, I know; my code has been around for about 6 months, and I only
found out about MS's protocol a few weeks ago. Hmmm... Python Cryptography
_Package_? Kit? Collection? Stuff?
