SHA1 vs MD5 bechmark

sha1_vs_md5.py

import hashlib
import pytest

foo = b'The lazy fox jumps over the running dogs'

def test_sha1(benchmark):
   sha1 = hashlib.sha1()
   sha1.update(foo)
   benchmark(sha1.hexdigest)

def test_md5(benchmark):
   md5 = hashlib.md5()
   md5.update(foo)
   benchmark(md5.hexdigest)

Very cool!

what is the benchmark object? or is that from python library?

Oh it's pytest-benchmark @waichee
