I was looking for the easiest and fastest way to hash a string. I also understand this is a library so maybe this PR should instead go to eth-utils. Let me know what you think.
The PR intention is to be able to quickly hash something without having to opening a interactive Python console. Using console scripts and in this case I had to add a main function to cast the incoming string.
Note: this PR only hashes the first given argument, in case you need to send multiple strings, I would need to update the function.
I could go further and make it more complicated, adding type checks, encoding options, a CLI library, etc. But need to know if this feature is desired in the first place.
