The hashlib module seems not to work at all:

$ python3.0
Python 3.0a1 (py3k, Sep  5 2007, 08:17:11)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import hashlib
>>> m = hashlib.md5()
>>> m.update("Nobody inspects")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: object supporting the buffer API required

(Same error with hashlib.sha1(), etc.)

hashlib only accepts bytes for its digests, since the algorithms work
on bytes, not characters.

Unfortunately, this isn't documented yet, but I'll do that now.
