New submission from Marcelo <marcelog...@gmail.com>:
The documentation found in https://docs.python.org/2/library/hashlib.html give us the following example: ``` More condensed: >>> hashlib.sha224("Nobody inspects the spammish repetition").hexdigest() 'a4337bc45a8fc544c03f52dc550cd6e1e87021bc896588bd79e901e2' ``` Although, we get the error if not encode the string: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing ``` So the example should be (string to bytes): `hashlib.sha224(b"Nobody inspects the spammish repetition").hexdigest()` ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 371354 nosy: docs@python, marcelog...@gmail.com priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Fix the example in hashlib documentarion type: behavior versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40960> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
