hashlib in one line

[Thomas Guettler]

Hi,

I think it would be nice if you could use the hashlib in one line:

hashlib.sha256().update('abc').hexdigest()

Unfortunately update() returns None.

Is there a way to convert a string to the hexdigest of sha256 in one line?

Yeah, something like this would be nice:

hashlib.sha256('abc').hexdigest()

(tested in 2.6.6)
