Description of problem: Looking for opinion if we can add the features of hashlib.md5() from below: https://github.com/conda/conda/pull/11658/files Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python36-3.6.8-38.module+el8.5.0+12207+5c5719bc.x86_64 python3-libs-3.6.8-15.1.el8.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I don't know if I understand "add features from https://github.com/conda/conda/pull/11658/files to python3.6 is possible" correctly. Could you clarify what features we're talking about? Is it the usedforsecurity argument for `md5`? That is already there: RHEL's Python 3.6 allows it. (RHEL has supported it for a long time. In Python 3.9 it was added *upstream*, i.e. since 3.9 the non-RHEL distributions of Python also support it.) At a global level, only disabling FIPS mode is possible. As said above we can't enable md5 globally and somehow leave the rest of FIPS mode on.
