[New-bugs-announce] [issue40637] Allow users to disable builtin hash modules on compile time

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes <lists at cheimes.de>:

Python has a couple of builtin hash module: md5, sha1, sha256/224, sha512/383, sha3/shake family, and blake2b/s. Most of them are used as fallbacks in case OpenSSL bindings are not available.

In some scenarios it is useful or required to disable the custom implementations and only offer libcrypto based implementations. Let's add a build option to disable modules.
