Oh, just to be clear, I didn't mean to imply that BLAKE2 is _less_ safe than
SHA-3. My best estimate is that BLAKE2 and SHA-3 are equivalently safe, and
that either of them is safer than SHA-2, SHA-1, or MD5
New submission from Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn:
(Disclosure: I'm one of the authors of BLAKE2.)
Please include BLAKE2 in hashlib. It well-suited for hashing long inputs (e.g.
files), because it is substantially faster than SHA-3, SHA-2, SHA-1, or MD5
while also being safer than SHA-2, SHA-1, or MD5

Well, read the thread!

Basically just a couple of +1's, and a good suggestion to name it something
clearer than crtime.
Please fix it!

Benjamin Peterson: what do you mean hijack ctime? I don't think I — or anyone
— has proposed anything that fits that description. Please be more specific.
My proposal in http://bugs.python.org/issue5720#msg85750 does not break
anything
Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn added the comment:
Benjamin: I'm sorry, I still don't understand. Do you think my proposal would
involve setting something named ctime to contain a value that didn't come
from the underlying stat ctime?

Aha! Mystery solved. I wouldn't say that you were stupid — I would say that
crtime is way too close to ctime, and I strongly agree with the suggestion

That's a good question. The answer is that there are two separate
