Python 3.8.5 : The hashlib python package - part 001.

The tutorial for today is about hashlib python module.
The official webpage comes for this python package has this intro:
This module implements a common interface to many different secure hash and message digest algorithms. Included are the FIPS secure hash algorithms SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, and SHA512 (defined in FIPS 180-2) as well as RSA’s MD5 algorithm (defined in Internet RFC 1321).
The example source code to test a simple hash is this:

import hashlib
import os

def file_sha1(filename):
    BUF_SIZE = 65536  # read stuff in 64kb chunks!
    get_sha1 = hashlib.sha1()
    with open(filename, 'rb') as f:
        while True:
            data = f.read(BUF_SIZE)
            if not data:
                break
            get_sha1.update(data)
    return get_sha1.hexdigest()

# I add this comment after first to see the hash difference.
files = [f for f in os.listdir('.') if os.path.isfile(f)]
for f in files:
    h = file_sha1(f)
    print(h) 

Let's test the source code with the default directory and two files.
I run it first with default source code and then I add a comment to test_hash_file.py file.
You can see the hash is changed from b222523567a8a806382b86578717ddbd00e0f4b4 to 2134660551cc67812413a3a75fd12efb05d591ef.
