Re Doc page: As a somewhat naive (relative to the subject)
reader, the title and first sentence implied that 'secure hash'
and 'message digest' are two separate things, whereas, judging
from the .digest() blurb, they both seem to be16-byte hashes.
So I would prefer this equivalence and the actual meaning were
made clear at the top. Something like "This module implements a
common interface to several secure hash or message digest
algorithms that produce 16-byte hashes."
If, as I presume, xx.hexdigest() == binascii.hexlify(xx.digest()),
then I would say so and reference binsacii for the
interconversion functions one would need if one had the two
versions to compare or needed to convert after the extraction.
