hashlib for win32 Python 2.4:
using OpenSSL (faster, larger) or
using builtins (slower, smaller)
hashlib for win32 Python 2.3:
i don't have msvc 6 to compile this. any volunteers?
python setup.py build [options]
Valid options: --openssl-prefix=path, --openssl-incdir=path, --openssl-libdir=path
If OpenSSL 0.9.7 or later is found it will be used. Version 0.9.8 is preferred as it provides many more optimized algorithms. OpenSSL is not required.
python setup.py install
Use the following hash object constructors:
md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, and sha512
Hash objects have update, copy, digest, and hexdigest methods.
>>> x = hashlib.sha224('spam')
>>> x.hexdigest()
'e047c44d875407fdb49d53d8b2326fc3e20e27f08434fef1275a3981'
>>> y = x.copy()
>>> y.update(' and eggs')
>>> y.hexdigest()
'1c54f569f9b5c7cec6a34465de51df10b0048f3d48f7051ac6eb2e54'
