[issue9216] FIPS support for hashlib

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

The separate module idea is an interesting one, though I wonder if it aligns with users' goals.  Perhaps some users simply want to set the OPENSSL_FORCE_FIPS_MODE environment variable and then run existing Python code with it to ensure that code is FIPS-compliant.  A separate module assumes that the developer is the one who makes the decision of running in FIPS compliance mode or not.
