[issue27925] Nicer interface to convert hashlib digests to int

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

There is another way:

    int.from_bytes(x.digest(), 'big')

Note that converting to int you lose the length of the digest. md5 digest d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e and sha1 digest 00000000d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e are converted to the same int. This can add a vulnerability.
