New submission from Vasco Rodrigues <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The hashing algorithms don't support Unicode. Any Unicode text given to them is first tried to convert ascii and then hashed. Not all strings are convertible to ascii. Now that Unicode is becoming the default encoding, specially for the web side of python, where a lot of this hashing algorithms are used. There should be some kind of Unicode support in them.
Example: from hashlib import md5 md5(u'joão') UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe3' in position 2: ordinal not in range(128) ---------- components: Unicode messages: 67214 nosy: vvro severity: normal status: open title: Unicode support for hashing algorithms versions: Python 2.5 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2948> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
