[New-bugs-announce] [issue1118] hashlib module fails with TypeError

[David Ripton]

New submission from David Ripton:

The hashlib module seems not to work at all:

$ python3.0
Python 3.0a1 (py3k, Sep  5 2007, 08:17:11)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import hashlib
>>> m = hashlib.md5()
>>> m.update("Nobody inspects")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: object supporting the buffer API required

(Same error with hashlib.sha1(), etc.)
