Sure, but in a programming context, it's confusing when the "function" is implemented by a class with additional properties and methods. Why not simply "CryptoHash"?

Well, it's probably not excruciatingly slow, so if you don't want another import, I guess the current implementation is ok :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18742> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
