WHAT hashlib 20060408a - A python module providing access to MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 secure hash algorithms.
It uses OpenSSL (when available) to provide much faster platform optimized versions of all of the above. When linked with OpenSSL additional algorithms are also available. WHERE http://code.krypto.org/python/hashlib/ WHY hashlib is included in Python 2.5, this is a backport to make the new algorithms and optimized implementations available to earlier Python versions. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
