!         Create a new hashing object and return it.  You can now feed
!         arbitrary strings into the object using its update() method,
!         and can ask for the hash value at any time by calling its
!         digest() method.
! 
!         The 'string' parameter, if supplied, will be immediately
!         hashed into the object's starting state; an empty string or
!         None.  For keyed hashes such as HMAC, 'key' is a string
!         containing the starting key.  
  
          Arbitrary additional keyword arguments can be added to this

      new([key] , [string])
  
!         Create a new hashing object and return it.  The first form is
!         for hashes that are unkeyed; most hashes such as MD5 or SHA
!         are unkeyed.  For keyed hashes such as HMAC, 'key' is a string
!         containing the starting key.  The 'string' parameter, if
!         supplied, will be immediately hashed into the object's
!         starting state, as if obj.update(string) was called.
!         
!         After creating a hashing object, arbitrary strings can be fed
!         into the object using its update() method, and the hash value
!         can be obtained at any time by calling the object's digest()
!         method.
