Jim is vetoing any changes to repozo until soembody updates that test to run as an automated unit test. I find this a strange exercise in leadership: this tool, which is important to much of the ZODB community, happens to be one Jim *doesn't use at all* (because of ZRS). A sufficiently cynical observer might even squint at that and see a potential conflict of interest. > I ran these before and after to verify they didn't fail but did exhibit > the behaviour I was trying to fix before I started and didn't fail *and* > didn't exhibit the behaviour I was trying to fix after. > >> - Tres wrote a trivial test for the trivial fix > > Indeed.

Sniffing at sys.versioninfo was a silly way to do the fix anyhow (I think Jim even suggested it): much better would have been to conditionally import hashlib, and fall back to md6 only where it raises an import error.
