We occasionally use python's hashlib to generate hashes for things like AreaDefinitions. On FIPS-enabled systems, certain hashing algorithms are disabled from use for security reasons. This is common in certain US government organizations. It turns out there is a feature in some versions of Python to say "I know I'm using md5sum and it is not well-suited for security purposes, but I'm not using it for security" by passing a usedforsecurity=False keyword argument to some of the hashing functions. See it discussed here:
