Gregory P. Smith 7208af47f8 whoops, missed adding this last night in my hashlib commit 2005-08-22 18:31:41 +00:00
Gregory P. Smith f21a5f7739 [ sf.net patch # 1121611 ]
A new hashlib module to replace the md5 and sha modules.  It adds
support for additional secure hashes such as SHA-256 and SHA-512.  The
hashlib module uses OpenSSL for fast platform optimized
implementations of algorithms when available.  The old md5 and sha
modules still exist as wrappers around hashlib to preserve backwards
compatibility.
