the test suite across all that are available. Warns about extension modules
that could not be imported when python was compiled with Py_DEBUG.
That warning could be made fatal but I didn't want to do that initially as
I suspect non setup.py based build processes (windows, any others?) won't
compile them all conditionally based on the Py_DEBUG setting today.
to hashlib functions in python 2.x. The module now uses the 's*' for argument
parsing which auto encodes unicode objects to the system default encoding for
us.
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.
