Category: Windows Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Gregory P. Smith (greg) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Python 2.5 windows builds should link hashlib with OpenSSL Initial Comment: The Windows builds of Python 2.5 need to be updated to build and link the hashlib modules with OpenSSL 0.9.8. The OpenSSL implementations of the hash algorithms are *much* faster (often 2-3x) than the fallback C implementations that python includes for use when OpenSSL isn't available. I just tested the python 2.5b3 installer on windows. its using the fallback versions rather than OpenSSL: here's a simple way to check from a running python: Without OpenSSL: >>> import hashlib >>> hashlib.sha1 <built-in function new> With OpenSSL: >>> import hashlib >>> hashlib.sha1 <built-in function openssl_sha1> (please use openssl 0.9.8; older versions don't include sha256 and sha512 implementations) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1535502&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
