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 ? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
