Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Modules Group: Python 2.3 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Rejected Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Reuben Sumner (rasumner) >Assigned to: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) Summary: add direct access to MD5 compression function to md5 module Initial Comment: Access to the MD5 compression function allows doing things like calculating NMAC (see http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/users/mihir/papers/hmac.html). This patch gives such access. If accepted I am happy to do the same for SHA-1. I didn't update the doc strings very well, and I didn't update the documentation source at all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) Date: 2006-12-22 13:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=11375 Originator: NO Thanks for your contribution, but this seems quite specialized; NMAC doesn't appear to be widely used, perhaps because such API additions are required to implement it. The patch would also need to be updated for the introduction of hashlib in Python 2.5. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=704676&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list Patches@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
