Gregory P. Smith added the comment: I agree that adding a .default_digest_size attribute to the constructors in the hashlib module would be good... the challenge is in actually doing it. Today they are not classes, they are built-in functions that come from one of two possible extension modules. Adding properties to a built-in function is a challenge (I don't think that is even possible in the C API, PyMethodDef doesn't support that).
We could hack around it, wrap them in classes, etc. But they have never been classes and there is little good reason for them to be a type. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26700> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
