The code will raise ValueError when int(1) is passed in, but the unittests expect a TypeError. Well, if testhashlib passes, surely your analysis is wrong, no?

In the normal case, yes:

import hashlib hashlib.new(1) TypeError: name must be a string

But if the _hashlib extension module is not available, the python version is used and ValueError is raised:

import sys sys.modules['hashlib'] = None import hashlib hashlib.new(1) ValueError: unsupported hash type 1
