Quite a number of python ports use pycrypto, so anybody who's now using Python 2.6 will see lots of deprecations warnings concerning these two modules. The affected files in pycrypto are lib/Crypto/Hash/SHA.py and lib/Crypto/Hash/MD5.py >How-To-Repeat: Install security/py-pycrypto with Python 2.6, and do the following: $ python >Fix: A patch to modify these two modules to use hashlib if possible is attached. it patches them to be practically identical (save some differing whitespace and comments) to the same modules in the current development branch of pycrypto at http://gitweb.pycrypto.org/?p=crypto/pycrypto-2.x.git;a=summary The patch may be safely used with Python 2.5 and after.
