New submission from Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de>:
Python uses valid Python identifiers for hashing algorithms while OpenSSL uses slightly different default names. For example OpenSSL uses "SHA3-256" while Python has "sha3_256". The function py_digest_by_name() in _hashopenssl.c maps from Python names to EVP_MD pointer. It's possible to simplify the lookup by registering Python's aliases with OpenSSL, e.g. EVP_add_digest_alias(SN_sha3_512, "sha3_512").
