I was going to make a snarky reply (as nicely as possible :) that
included a large unedited chunk of the subject line, but I noticed
that the warning message as you listed it isn't intelligible, so I'll
just say replace "import sha" with "import hashlib" and "sha.new" with
"hashlib.sha1", and any other changes that might be necessary
(unlikely).  See the documentation for hashlib.
