<PRE>Oh, I totally agree. Either the name or the implementation has a problem.
I was just pointing out that the behavior is consistent with the documentation in <A HREF="https://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto/api/current/Crypto.PublicKey.RSA._RSAobj-class.html#size">https://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto/api/current/Crypto.PublicKey.RSA._RSAobj-class.html#size</A>
