[issue18742] Abstract base class for hashlib

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes added the comment:

I have checked in some of the basic and non-controversal parts of the PEP (optimization, expose type object). The ABCs are still missing. In order to cope with keyed and non-keyed CHF I have added a common base class for both and separate ABCs for keyed and non-keyed CHF. They are really different beasts but they provide a common API except for they constructor.

class AbstractCryptoHashFunction(metaclass=_abc.ABCMeta):
    """Common ABC for keyed and non-keyed cryptographic hash functions"""

class CryptoHashFunction(AbstractCryptoHashFunction):
    """Abstract base class for cryptographic hash functions (PEP 247)"""

class KeyedCryptoHashFunction(AbstractCryptoHashFunction):
    """Abstract base class for keyed cryptographic hashs function (PEP 247)"""
