I have finished up the hashlib work I started on in feb/march for patch 1121611 and 935454 after some discussion on this list. The full patch including tests and module documentation has been posted in the sf patch 1121611 as hashlib-008.
I believe it is done and ready and would like to commit it after a review. Let the reviewing begin! For easy viewing, here's what the module documentation looks like: http://electricrain.com/greg/hashlib-py25-doc/module-hashlib.html The code is in the hashlib-008.patch file: http://redirx.com/?3e19 hashlib incorporates both the 1121611 openssl hash support and the 935454 sha256+sha512 module support into a single hashlib module that picks the fastest implementation of each algorithm to use. OpenSSLs implementations of md5 and sha1 are nearly 2x as fast as the existing python builtin versions. The (now legacy) md5 and sha modules are turned into simple stubs that use hashlib.
