      7 __doc__ = """hashlib module - A common interface to many hash functions.
      8 
      9 new(name, string='') - returns a new hash object implementing the
     10                        given hash function; initializing the hash
     11                        using the given string data.
     12 
     13 Named constructor functions are also available, these are much faster
     14 than using new():
     15 
     16 md5(), sha1(), sha224(), sha256(), sha384(), and sha512()
     17 
     18 More algorithms may be available on your platform but the above are
     19 guaranteed to exist.
     20 
     21 NOTE: If you want the adler32 or crc32 hash functions they are available in
     22 the zlib module.
     23 
     24 Choose your hash function wisely.  Some have known collision weaknesses.
     25 sha384 and sha512 will be slow on 32 bit platforms.
     26 
     27 Hash objects have these methods:
     28  - update(arg): Update the hash object with the string arg. Repeated calls
     29                 are equivalent to a single call with the concatenation of all
     30                 the arguments.
     31  - digest():    Return the digest of the strings passed to the update() method
     32                 so far. This may contain non-ASCII characters, including
     33                 NUL bytes.
     34  - hexdigest(): Like digest() except the digest is returned as a string of
     35                 double length, containing only hexadecimal digits.
     36  - copy():      Return a copy (clone) of the hash object. This can be used to
     37                 efficiently compute the digests of strings that share a common
     38                 initial substring.
     39 
     40 For example, to obtain the digest of the string 'Nobody inspects the
     41 spammish repetition':
     42 
     43     >>> import hashlib
     44     >>> m = hashlib.md5()
     45     >>> m.update("Nobody inspects")
     46     >>> m.update(" the spammish repetition")
     47     >>> m.digest()
     48     '\\xbbd\\x9c\\x83\\xdd\\x1e\\xa5\\xc9\\xd9\\xde\\xc9\\xa1\\x8d\\xf0\\xff\\xe9'
     49 
     50 More condensed:
     51 
     52     >>> hashlib.sha224("Nobody inspects the spammish repetition").hexdigest()
     53     'a4337bc45a8fc544c03f52dc550cd6e1e87021bc896588bd79e901e2'
