The md5 module has been a standard module for a long time; making it optional in the next version of Python isn't possible. We'd have to require OpenSSL to compile Python. I'm happy to replace the MD5 and/or SHA implementations with other code, provided other code with a suitable license can be found. --amk _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
