hashlib
-------
The :mod:`hashlib` module has two new constant attributes listing the hashing
algorithms guaranteed to be present in all implementations and those available
on the current implementation:
>>> import hashlib
>>> hashlib.algorithms_guaranteed
{'sha1', 'sha224', 'sha384', 'sha256', 'sha512', 'md5'}
>>> hashlib.algorithms_available
{'md2', 'SHA256', 'SHA512', 'dsaWithSHA', 'mdc2', 'SHA224', 'MD4', 'sha256',
