This also eliminates the need for f_restricted on frames. This in turn negates the need for PyEval_GetRestricted() and PyFrame_IsRestricted(). ........ r55303 | brett.cannon | 2007-05-13 19:22:22 -0700 (Sun, 13 May 2007) | 2 lines Remove the md5 and sha modules. ........ r55305 | george.yoshida | 2007-05-13 19:45:55 -0700 (Sun, 13 May 2007) | 2 lines fix markup ........ r55306 | neal.norwitz | 2007-05-13 19:47:57 -0700 (Sun, 13 May 2007) | 1 line Get the doc building again after some removals. ........ r55307 | neal.norwitz | 2007-05-13 19:50:45 -0700 (Sun, 13 May 2007) | 1 line Get test_pyclbr passing again after getstatus was removed from commands. This "test case" was weird since it was just importing a seemingly random module. Remove the import ........ r55322 | brett.cannon | 2007-05-14 14:09:20 -0700 (Mon, 14 May 2007) | 3 lines Remove the compiler package.

-\section{\module{md5} ---
- MD5 message digest algorithm}
-
-\declaremodule{builtin}{md5}
-\modulesynopsis{RSA's MD5 message digest algorithm.}
-
-\deprecated{2.5}{Use the \refmodule{hashlib} module instead.}
-
-This module implements the interface to RSA's MD5 message digest
-\index{message digest, MD5}
-algorithm (see also Internet \rfc{1321}). Its use is quite
-straightforward:\ use \function{new()} to create an md5 object.
-You can now feed this object with arbitrary strings using the
-\method{update()} method, and at any point you can ask it for the
-\dfn{digest} (a strong kind of 128-bit checksum,
-a.k.a. ``fingerprint'') of the concatenation of the strings fed to it
-so far using the \method{digest()} method.
-\index{checksum!MD5}
-
-For example, to obtain the digest of the string \code{'Nobody inspects
-the spammish repetition'}:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
->>> import md5
->>> m = md5.new()
->>> m.update("Nobody inspects")
->>> m.update(" the spammish repetition")
->>> m.digest()
-'\xbbd\x9c\x83\xdd\x1e\xa5\xc9\xd9\xde\xc9\xa1\x8d\xf0\xff\xe9'
-\end{verbatim}
-
-More condensed:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
->>> md5.new("Nobody inspects the spammish repetition").digest()
-'\xbbd\x9c\x83\xdd\x1e\xa5\xc9\xd9\xde\xc9\xa1\x8d\xf0\xff\xe9'
-\end{verbatim}
-
-The following values are provided as constants in the module and as
-attributes of the md5 objects returned by \function{new()}:
-
-\begin{datadesc}{digest_size}
- The size of the resulting digest in bytes. This is always
- \code{16}.
-\end{datadesc}
-
-The md5 module provides the following functions:
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{new}{\optional{arg}}
-Return a new md5 object. If \var{arg} is present, the method call
-\code{update(\var{arg})} is made.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{md5}{\optional{arg}}
-For backward compatibility reasons, this is an alternative name for the
-\function{new()} function.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-An md5 object has the following methods:
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[md5]{update}{arg}
-Update the md5 object with the string \var{arg}. Repeated calls are
-equivalent to a single call with the concatenation of all the
-arguments: \code{m.update(a); m.update(b)} is equivalent to
-\code{m.update(a+b)}.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[md5]{digest}{}
-Return the digest of the strings passed to the \method{update()}
-method so far. This is a 16-byte string which may contain
-non-\ASCII{} characters, including null bytes.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[md5]{hexdigest}{}
-Like \method{digest()} except the digest is returned as a string of
-length 32, containing only hexadecimal digits. This may
-be used to exchange the value safely in email or other non-binary
-environments.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[md5]{copy}{}
-Return a copy (``clone'') of the md5 object. This can be used to
-efficiently compute the digests of strings that share a common initial
-substring.
-\end{methoddesc}

- \seemodule{sha}{Similar module implementing the Secure Hash
- Algorithm (SHA). The SHA algorithm is considered a
- more secure hash.}
