Whirlpool in common crypto hashing library for python

Question

Is there some common (recommended) module for generating hashes in Python?

In particular I need whirlpool but something like mhash extension in PHP or jacksum in java, where many hashing algorithms present, would be the ideal, so it could be used in future.

In my system there is no `whirlpool` in `hashlib.algorithms`. May it be extended by some common means or no way? — dmitry, Dec 25 '12 at 08:53
Seems my question parted into two. As it titled "Common crypto hashing..." I suggest Marcelo Cantos to add his comment as an answer, so I could accept it. — dmitry, Dec 25 '12 at 09:20
@dmitry: I supplied the link as a comment since it didn't address the whirlpool aspect. Ignacio's answer is probably as good as you'll get. — Marcelo Cantos, Dec 25 '12 at 09:39

A quick Google search finds both a pure Python implementation as well as a binding written in C for the Whirlpool algorithm.

Yeah, thanks, I began searching for a *common* way to do it, being suggesting that it exists. Seems not. – dmitry Dec 25 '12 at 09:19

I use the librhash ( examples here ). There you has a lot of hash algorithms, included Whirlpool. And it available in the most popular distributions like ubuntu
