[solved] Re: Python hashlib and ripemd160

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



from Crypto.Hash import RIPEMD

That lets me do a ripemd-160

okay it appears there are no suspect patent issues with ripemd160 so
either they just didn't include it for some other reason or the issue is
elsewhere.

well, how about compiling instance to another directory like
/opt/python-alternative?

usually works like ./configure --prefix=/opt/python-alternative and then
other normal stuff..

Hi - I think the patent monster has struck again.

rmd =
hashlib.new('ripemd160',binascii.unhexlify(someString)).hexdigest()

That fails - ValueError: unsupported hash type

 From some googling, it appears that the supported hash types are from
OpenSSL and that means the OpenSSL in CentOS doesn't support ripemd160.

I've worked around other stuff missing from CentOS OpenSSL by building
LibreSSL and linking against that but python is central to the
operation of
CentOS and I do not want to mess with replacing the CentOS packaging of
python.

Is there an alternate way to get a ripemd160 hash in python on CentOS ?
