Christian Heimes added the comment: * "Cryptographic Hash Function" is the correct technical term for algorithms like SHA-1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function
* PEP 452 is going to suggest that 3rd party libraries register their hash function as subclasses of the ABC. * __slots__ are required for subclassing. All our ABCs in Python 3.x have __slots__ * I don't want to import yet another module just for the ABC. I'd rather not provide a sample implementation of hexdigest() if you think it is too slow. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18742> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
