it's a hash over the decoded contents of the second field of the
public key line. In python:
import base64
import hashlib
keytext=open("/tmp/r.pub").read()
keydata=keytext.split()[1]
decoded=base64.b64decode(keydata)
rawhash=hashlib.sha256(decoded).digest()
texthash=base64.b64encode(rawhash)
print texthash
