Add support for RIPEMD160 to hashlib #1097

Open ironpythonbot opened 9 years ago

ironpythonbot commented 9 years ago

IronPython doesn't support the RIPEMD160 hashing algorithm.

RIPEMD160 is used by Bitcoin, so this means that no Bitcoin software written in Python can run under IronPython.

The following code works in CPython, but not in IronPython: 

import hashlib

hash = hashlib.new("ripemd160")
hash.update("test")
print hash.hexdigest()

.NET supports RIPEMD160 - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en- us/library/system.security.cryptography.ripemd160.aspx

Just as a side note for this issue. RIPEMD-160 is not implemented in hashlib itself. It's implemented in OpenSSL, so it'll only available in CPython if you got openssl installed.
