Totally agree... the news about SHA-1 made me want to look up Python's cryptographic functions as a curiosity. SHA-1 isn't going away any time soon. A new hashing method won't even be picked by NIST until 2011. It's still early, but I think adding support for hashlib is good, especially since Python appears to be deprecating anything else. As an extra option, could we also add support for sha-256 in contrib.auth if folks would prefer that? -Rob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
