There should be no difference but I remember reading in the past there was a bug in hashlib on 2.6 x64. I cannot find the link any more but I found this:
"- Issue #1385: The hmac module now computes the correct hmac when using hashes with a block size other than 64 bytes (such as sha384 and sha512)." http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.8/NEWS.txt Perhaps it is relevant.
