True, but presumably neither does it have anything it can do to rectify the situation if it finds a problem, and the client will have to keep its own secure hash of its file anyway. (Unless I suppose the server actually can request a new copy from the client or another server if it finds a corrupt file?) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
