Hash objects will become undocumented from v2.7

[Legrandin]

In the current version (2.6), the hash objects (e.g. as returned by Crypto.Hash.SHA256.new) have got a minimal level of epydoc-generated HTML documentation. For instance:

https://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto/api/current/Crypto.Hash.SHA256.SHA256Hash-class.html

However, with the recent changes that part of documentation has disappeared and objects are now undocumented.
What has remained is simply the "new()" function of the hash module.
In order to know what an instance of the object does and which methods it has, one has to dig into the C source code.

I think this should take care of this issue:

MD5 and SHA1 objects are still undocumented.

SHA module should have an indication that SHA1 should be be used instead.
Same for RIPEMD.

For all hash objects, the documentation of digest() seems to have a stray sentence ("characters, including null bytes.").

Ok, thanks.
