Description Christian Heimes 2019-08-26 16:06:37 UTC

Description of problem:
The patch 00329-fips.patch adds hashlib.get_fips_mode(). Please rename the new function to _get_fips_mode(). It's an internal helper and should not be part of public API for hashlib module.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python3-libs-3.6.8-14.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Comment 1 Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2019-08-26 17:24:30 UTC

I'm thinking aboutl not re-exporting it from hashlib, and keeping it as _hashlib.get_fips_mode. _hashlib itself is an internal helper.
Does that sound OK?

Comment 2 Christian Heimes 2019-08-26 17:48:01 UTC

Even better!

Does it has to be a function or can you make it an attribute of _hashlib?

Comment 3 Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2019-08-26 17:50:36 UTC

Ergonomics don't matter for internal helpers, so I'll keep it as a function call.
