[issue26798] add BLAKE2 to hashlib

Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn added the comment: 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

[issue1322] platform.dist() has unpredictable result under Linux

Zooko O'Whielacronx [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Well, for what it is worth I've updated the custom detect linux distribution code in Tahoe yet again. The current version first tries to parse /etc/lsb-version (fast, gives a good answer on Ubuntu, and hopefully at least semi-standardized

Zooko O'Whielacronx [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Here is an updated version of my patch which tries parsing /etc/lsb-release first and only if that fails tries executing lsb_release. The reason is that executing lsb_release in a subprocess takes half-a-second on my high-performance

[issue1322] platform.dist() has unpredictable result under Linux

Zooko O'Whielacronx [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: MAL: why do you say it is better to look for /etc/$supportedplatform-release files first instead of looking for /etc/lsb-release first? I do not know if /etc/lsb-release is suitably generic -- I've tried it only on a few platforms. I do

[issue1322] platform.dist() has unpredictable result under Linux

Zooko O'Whielacronx [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Because that's exactly what lsb_release does as well. You must know something about common lsb_release implementations that I don't. As far as I saw in the LSB documentation, it is required to print out information in a certain format
