Convenience hashing facilities.

Latest release 20240412:

• BaseHashCode.hashclass(hashname): fall back to looking for blake3 from the blake3 module.
• BaseHashCode: new get_hashfunc(hashname) static method.

Class BaseHashCode(builtins.bytes)

Base class for hashcodes, subclassed by SHA1, SHA256 et al.

You can obtain the class for a particular hasher by name, example:

SHA256 = BaseHashCode.hashclass('sha256')

Method BaseHashCode.__str__(self): Return f'{self.hashname}:{self.hex()}'.

Method BaseHashCode.from_buffer(bfr: cs.buffer.CornuCopyBuffer): Compute hashcode from the contents of the CornuCopyBuffer bfr.

Method BaseHashCode.from_data(bs): Compute hashcode from the data bs.

Method BaseHashCode.from_fspath(fspath, **kw): Compute hashcode from the contents of the file fspath.

Method BaseHashCode.from_hashbytes(hashbytes): Factory function returning a BaseHashCode object from the hash bytes.

Method BaseHashCode.from_hashbytes_hex(hashhex: str): Factory function returning a BaseHashCode object from the hash bytes hex text.

Method BaseHashCode.from_named_hashbytes_hex(hashname, hashhex): Factory function to return a HashCode object from the hash type name and the hash bytes hex text.

Method BaseHashCode.from_prefixed_hashbytes_hex(hashtext: str): Factory function returning a BaseHashCode object from the hash bytes hex text prefixed by the hashname. This is the reverse of __str__.

Method BaseHashCode.get_hashfunc(hashname: str): Fetch the hash function implied by hashname.

Method BaseHashCode.hashclass(hashname: str, hashfunc=None, **kw): Return the class for the hash function named hashname.

Parameters:

• hashname: the name of the hash function
• hashfunc: optional hash function for the class

Property BaseHashCode.hashname: The hash code type name, derived from the class name.

Method BaseHashCode.hex(self) -> str: Return the hashcode bytes transcribes as a hexadecimal ASCII str.

Method BaseHashCode.promote(obj): Promote to a BaseHashCode instance.

Class MD5(BaseHashCode)

Hash class for the 'md5' algorithm.

MD5.hashfunc

Class SHA1(BaseHashCode)

Hash class for the 'sha1' algorithm.

SHA1.hashfunc

Class SHA224(BaseHashCode)

Hash class for the 'sha224' algorithm.

SHA224.hashfunc

Class SHA256(BaseHashCode)

Hash class for the 'sha256' algorithm.

SHA256.hashfunc

Class SHA384(BaseHashCode)

Hash class for the 'sha384' algorithm.

SHA384.hashfunc

Class SHA512(BaseHashCode)

Hash class for the 'sha512' algorithm.

SHA512.hashfunc
