I know, but still don't think that's a good idea. It makes sense in case you don't want to carry around OpenSSL all the time, but how often does that happen nowadays ? BTW: If I recall correctly, those hash implementations predate the deeper support for OpenSSL we now have in Python. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Experts (#1, May 27 2016) >>> Python Projects, Coaching and Consulting ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> Python Database Interfaces ... http://products.egenix.com/ >>> Plone/Zope Database Interfaces ... http://zope.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: We implement business ideas - efficiently in both time and costs ::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
