hashlib only accepts bytes for its digests, since the algorithms work
on bytes, not characters.

Unfortunately, this isn't documented yet, but I'll do that now.

[issue1118] hashlib module fails with TypeError

2007-09-06 Thread David Ripton 

New submission from David Ripton:

The hashlib module seems not to work at all:

$ python3.0
Python 3.0a1 (py3k, Sep  5 2007, 08:17:11)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import hashlib
>>> m = hashlib.md5()
>>> m.update("Nobody inspects")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
TypeError: object supporting the buffer API required

(Same error with hashlib.sha1(), etc.)
