Indeed, shame on me for not mentioning this. I rarely have the full complement of externals available when I'm doing python work, and it struck me that this unitest was failing. I suppose it should be possible to write unittests that test more than one particular implementation.

It is indeed, and we have been moving the unit tests to do exactly that for the cases where there is a Python implementation as well as a C implementation. It seems like it would be appropriate to open an issue for doing that for hashlib, in addition to one for fixing this particular issue with the Python version.
