Indeed, we try to avoid adding too many dependencies, and adding a new dependency to host-python is going to increase the build time to a large number of people who don't necessarily need the _hashlib module in the host Python interpreter. So could you explain why this is needed ? Thanks! Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering http://free-electrons.com
