Vajrasky Kok added the comment: This is the current behaviour of sha1 constructor. It rejects None value.
>>> import _sha1 >>> _sha1.sha1() <_sha1.sha1 object at 0x7f7fa7f0dea0> >>> _sha1.sha1(None) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: object supporting the buffer API required >>> _sha1.sha1(string=None) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: object supporting the buffer API required Then when I clinic it, what about the doc? This doesn't seem right. +PyDoc_STRVAR(_sha1_SHA1_sha1__doc__, +"sha1(string=None)\n" "Return a new SHA1 hash object; optionally initialized with a string."); ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20173> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
