New submission from Steven D'Aprano: hashlib digests should have a nicer interface to allow conversion to ints.
Currently we write int(x.hexdigest(), 16) which is less than obvious and easy to get wrong. It would be nice to be able to just say int(x) (that's my strong preference) or x.as_int(). Use-case: sometimes we need to store hashes in a database table which, for historical reasons, is an integer. ---------- messages: 274102 nosy: steven.daprano priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Nicer interface to convert hashlib digests to int type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27925> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
