Smith greg@mad-scientist.com 2005-08-21T18:45:59+00:00 64af9743adbb58287fd7641bc5b2b8dc67cd0e84 A new hashlib module to replace the md5 and sha modules. It adds support for additional secure hashes such as SHA-256 and SHA-512. The hashlib module uses OpenSSL for fast platform optimized implementations of algorithms when available. The old md5 and sha modules still exist as wrappers around hashlib to preserve backwards compatibility.
