[Python-Dev] test_hashlib (original) (raw)

I was hit by this today.

in test_hashlib.py there is this:

def test_unknown_hash(self):

self.assertRaises(ValueError, hashlib.new, 'spam spam spam spam spam')

self.assertRaises(TypeError, hashlib.new, 1)

but in hashlib.py, there is this code:

except ImportError:

pass # no extension module, this hash is unsupported.

raise ValueError('unsupported hash type %s' % name)

The code will raise ValueError when int(1) is passed in, but the unittests expect a TypeError.

So, which is correct?
