We still have code which checks if the hashlib module is present; however hashlib is standard library since Python 2.5.
Hashlib (md5) is used to create something unique, and then format it into a UUID (called GUID since this happens in a Windows context). However, the uuid module is standard library since Python 2.5, and might be more appropriate for the task. There's a test which has this docstring: """ Verify falling back to 'timestamp' behavior if there is no native hashlib and no underlying md5 module available. """ which thus is always skipped in our tests (in the md5-less FIPS environment mentioned in email they might see this if they ran the tests). _______________________________________________ Scons-dev mailing list Scons-dev@scons.org https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
