heh yeah. while all hash functions do have internal state and someone
could conceivably want to store such a state (it basically amounts to
queued up partial block of input data if any and the current starting
IV) there are not consistent APIs to expose that and I really don't
see why it'd be worth trying to find them.
remember, hashlib doesn't have to be openssl. there are non openssl
libtomcrypt based versions and someone nice should write a libnss
based version someday.
i'd mark this "won't fix." :)
