This feels a bit silly, but I am trying to encrypt some simple text with the new hashlib library and then decrypt it back into text. I can do this with M2Crypto RC4, but not the new hashlib. Could someone give me a quick example.
hashlib does not do encryption. It implements cryptographic hash functions which, while related to encryption algorithms and sometimes are a primitive component of such algorithms, do not actually encrypt and decrypt messages.
