PHP mhash module causes problems with Python md5 module.
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: MODPYTHON-232
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-232
Project: mod_python
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Affects Versions: 3.3.1
Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
Priority: Minor
The Python md5 module is used in Session/Cookie code and also in the new module
importer of mod_python 3.3.1.
For some PHP installations where PHP mhash module is being loaded, there is
some sort of conflict between the two md5 hash libraries. This can result in
mod_python code which relies on md5 module to not work properly.
To avoid this problem, suggest that Apache APR md5 routines being exposed
through the _apache module and mod_python use that whereever md5 hashes
required. This way operation of mod_python at least will not be comprised,
although it will not help with higher level application such as Django which
access md5 module themselves.
