Adding Py_HashBuffer to the Stable ABI #148233
Description
Activity
The function is properly documented and tested (by
test_capi.test_hash). It has a well defined API. It's a good candidate for the stable ABI.I went ahead and created github.com/capi-workgroup/decisions/issues/102 in the C API Working Group.
I merged my PR. Py_HashBuffer() is now available on Python 3.16 limited C API. Thanks for your suggestion @jakirkham.
On older versions, I suppose that you should create a bytes string and call PyObject_Hash().
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
The function
Py_HashBufferwas added in PR: #122854This was included in Python 3.14
Would like to propose adding this to the Stable ABI
