Thanks, commit log amended, and committed. > hashlib isn't a dependency (actually it's not mentioned in INSTALL at > all.) Indeed, it is not mentioned in the INSTALL guide, since the guide is meant mostly for production installations and `md5' and `sha' modules would be used as a fallback when `hashlib' module does not exist. (Obviously, this concerns only people using Python-2.4; for newer Pythons, `hashlib' is included with the default Python installation.) The only exception, I think, is the AWS connectivity when using Python-2.4, where `hashlib' would be really needed. In this case an exception to the admin is raised to alert the admin about the necessity to install hashlib. I have now added a note to the INSTALL file about this use case.
