43	add a quick start-up self test for SHA-256	zooko		"Add a ""quick start-up self test"" to pycryptopp which exercises the SHA-256 code at a minimal cost in time. This would be analogous to the ""quick start-up self test"" that for AES:

http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/pycryptopp/changeset/683/trunk

I guess for the SHA-256 test I would just copy this one unit test which exercises different chunk sizes:

http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/pycryptopp/browser/trunk/pycryptopp/test/test_sha256.py?rev=692#L87

I guess that would *not* (probably) exercise the really weird cases such as the input crossing 0x80000000, but it would give me some confidence. Users of pycryptopp would be encouraged to execute the quick startup self test one time after loading pycryptopp."	defect	closed	major		0.5.19	fixed
