-# Downstream only patch that should be removed when we compile all guaranteed
-# hashlib algorithms properly. The problem is this:
-# - during tests, test_hashlib is imported and executed before test_lib2to3
-# - if at least one hash function has failed, trying to import it triggers an
-#   exception that is being caught and exception is logged:
-#   http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2de806c8b070/Lib/hashlib.py#l217
-# - logging the exception makes logging module run basicConfig
-# - when lib2to3 tests are run again, lib2to3 runs basicConfig again, which
-#   doesn't do anything, because it was run previously
-#   (logging.root.handlers != []), which means that the default setup
-#   (most importantly logging level) is not overriden. That means that a test
-#   relying on this will fail (test_filename_changing_on_output_single_dir)
