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) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Gregory P. Smith (greg) Date: 2006-08-08 00:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=413 attached is a patch that works for me on Win XP with MSVS 2003 (vc++ 7.1): build_hashlib_with_ssl-01.patch It does several things: build_ssl.py -- this is fixed to use do_masm.bat instead of a modified 32all.bat to build OpenSSL with x86 asm optimizations on Win32. It is also fixed to work when under a directory tree with spaces in the directory names. _ssl.mak -- since both _ssl and _hashlib depend on OpenSSL it made the most sense for both to be built by the same makefile. I added _hashlib's build here. _ssl.vcproj -- adds the dependancy on Modules/_hashopenssl.c Things still TODO - make sure _hashlib.pyd is added to the MSI installer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gregory P. Smith (greg) Date: 2006-08-07 23:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=413 i've attached a patch to PCbuild/build_ssl.py that should build the assembly optimized OpenSSL on windows by default. Still todo: a _hashlib.vcproj file is needed. though wouldn't it be easier for me to just build _hashlib.pyd from within the _ssl.mak file? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
