I have discovered the hard way that numpy depends on openssl. I am building a 64 bit python environment for the macintosh. I currently do not have a 64 bit openssl library installed, so the python interpreter does not have hashlib. (hashlib gets its md5 function from the openssl library.)
The problem is in numpy/core/code_generators/genapi.py, where it appears to be trying to make an md5 hash of the declarations of some of the C functions. What is this hash used for? Is there a particular reason that it needs to be cryptographically strong?
