This module implements a common interface to many different secure hash and
message digest algorithms. Included are the FIPS secure hash algorithms SHA1,
SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, and SHA512 (defined in FIPS 180-2) as well as RSA's MD5
algorithm (defined in Internet :rfc:`1321`). The terms "secure hash" and
"message digest" are interchangeable. Older algorithms were called message
digests. The modern term is secure hash.

Without it, sysutils._python_build() returns the wrong directory, which causes the test_get_config_h_filename method in Lib/distutils/tests/test_sysconfig.py to fail. ........ r61613 | trent.nelson | 2008-03-19 08:45:19 +0100 (Mi, 19 Mär 2008) | 3 lines Refine the Visual Studio 2008 build solution in order to improve how we deal with external components, as well as fixing outstanding issues with Windows x64 build support. Introduce two new .vcproj files, _bsddb44.vcproj and sqlite3.vcproj, which replace the previous pre-link event scripts for _bsddb and _sqlite3 respectively. The new project files inherit from our property files as if they were any other Python module. This has numerous benefits. First, the components get built with exactly the same compiler flags and settings as the rest of Python. Second, it makes it much easier to debug problems in the external components when they're part of the build system. Third, they'll benefit from profile guided optimisation in the release builds, just like the rest of Python core. I've also introduced a slightly new pattern for managing externals in subversion. New components get checked in as <name>-<version>.x, where <version> matches the exact vendor version string. After the initial import of the external component, the .x is tagged as .0 (i.e. tcl-8.4.18.x -> tcl-8.4.18.0). Some components may not need any tweaking, whereas there are others that might (tcl/tk fall into this bucket). In that case, the relevant modifications are made to the .x branch, which will be subsequently tagged as .1 (and then n+1 going forward) when they build successfully and all tests pass. Buildbots will be converted to rely on these explicit tags only, which makes it easy for us to switch them over to a new version as and when required. (Simple change to external(-amd64).bat: if we've bumped tcl to 8.4.18.1, change the .bat to rmdir 8.4.18.0 if it exists and check out a new .1 copy.) ........ r61614 | trent.nelson | 2008-03-19 08:56:39 +0100 (Mi, 19 Mär 2008) | 1 line Remove extraneous apostrophe and semi-colon from AdditionalIncludeDirectories. ........ r61615 | georg.brandl | 2008-03-19 08:56:40 +0100 (Mi, 19 Mär 2008) | 2 lines Remove footnote from versionchanged as it upsets LaTeX. ........ r61616 | georg.brandl | 2008-03-19 08:57:57 +0100 (Mi, 19 Mär 2008) | 2 lines Another one. ........ r61618 | trent.nelson | 2008-03-19 09:06:03 +0100 (Mi, 19 Mär 2008) | 1 line Fix the tcl-8.4.18.1 path and make sure we cd into the right directory when building tcl/tk. ........ r61621 | trent.nelson | 2008-03-19 10:23:08 +0100 (Mi, 19 Mär 2008) | 1 line Lets have another try at getting the Windows buildbots in a consistent state before rebuilding using the new process. ........ r61622 | eric.smith | 2008-03-19 13:09:55 +0100 (Mi, 19 Mär 2008) | 2 lines Use test.test_support.captured_stdout instead of a custom contextmanager.

.. note::
If you want the adler32 or crc32 hash functions they are available in
the :mod:`zlib` module.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. warning::
Some algorithms have known hash collision weaknesses, see the FAQ at the end.
There is one constructor method named for each type of :dfn:`hash`. All return
a hash object with the same simple interface. For example: use :func:`sha1` to
create a SHA1 hash object. You can now feed this object with objects conforming
to the buffer interface (normally :class:`bytes` objects) using the
:meth:`update` method. At any point you can ask it for the :dfn:`digest` of the
concatenation of the data fed to it so far using the :meth:`digest` or
:meth:`hexdigest` methods.
.. note::
For better multithreading performance, the Python GIL is released for
strings of more than 2047 bytes at object creation or on update.
.. note::
Feeding string objects is to :meth:`update` is not supported, as hashes work
on bytes, not on characters.

Constructors for hash algorithms that are always present in this module are
:func:`md5`, :func:`sha1`, :func:`sha224`, :func:`sha256`, :func:`sha384`, and
:func:`sha512`. Additional algorithms may also be available depending upon the
OpenSSL library that Python uses on your platform.
For example, to obtain the digest of the byte string ``b'Nobody inspects the
spammish repetition'``::
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
>>> import hashlib
>>> m = hashlib.md5()
>>> m.update(b"Nobody inspects")
>>> m.update(b" the spammish repetition")
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
>>> m.digest()
b'\xbbd\x9c\x83\xdd\x1e\xa5\xc9\xd9\xde\xc9\xa1\x8d\xf0\xff\xe9'
>>> m.digest_size
16
>>> m.block_size

.. function:: new(name[, data])
Is a generic constructor that takes the string name of the desired
algorithm as its first parameter. It also exists to allow access to the
above listed hashes as well as any other algorithms that your OpenSSL
library may offer. The named constructors are much faster than :func:`new`
and should be preferred.

Hashlib provides the following constant attributes:
.. data:: algorithms_guaranteed
Contains the names of the hash algorithms guaranteed to be supported
by this module on all platforms.
.. versionadded:: 3.2
.. data:: algorithms_available
Contains the names of the hash algorithms that are available
in the running Python interpreter. These names will be recognized
when passed to :func:`new`. :attr:`algorithms_guaranteed`
will always be a subset. Duplicate algorithms with different
name formats may appear in this set (thanks to OpenSSL).

.. data:: hash.block_size
The internal block size of the hash algorithm in bytes.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
A hash object has the following methods:
.. method:: hash.update(arg)
Update the hash object with the object *arg*, which must be interpretable as
a buffer of bytes. Repeated calls are equivalent to a single call with the
concatenation of all the arguments: ``m.update(a); m.update(b)`` is
equivalent to ``m.update(a+b)``.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
2009-05-05 06:29:50 -03:00
.. versionchanged:: 3.1
The Python GIL is released to allow other threads to run while hash
updates on data larger than 2048 bytes is taking place when using hash
algorithms supplied by OpenSSL.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: hash.digest()
Return the digest of the data passed to the :meth:`update` method so far.
This is a bytes object of size :attr:`digest_size` which may contain bytes in
the whole range from 0 to 255.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: hash.hexdigest()
Like :meth:`digest` except the digest is returned as a string object of
double length, containing only hexadecimal digits. This may be used to
exchange the value safely in email or other non-binary environments.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: hash.copy()
Return a copy ("clone") of the hash object. This can be used to efficiently
compute the digests of data sharing a common initial substring.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. seealso::
Module :mod:`hmac`
A module to generate message authentication codes using hashes.
Module :mod:`base64`
Another way to encode binary hashes for non-binary environments.
