Christian Heimes added the comment: PS: I'm also against a hashlib.fips module in stdlib. FIPS mode is irrelevant for majority of users and countries. I neither want to confuse people nor introduce more maintenance and documentation burden than necessary. Antoine gave another good reason against a fips module, too.
I'm fine with a used_for_security flag and functions to get/set FIPS state. Something like hashlib.get_fips_mode() is useful for testing. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9216> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
