Fix typo. Backport if anyone cares. :-)

7 __doc__ = """hashlib module - A common interface to many hash functions.
9 new(name, string='') - returns a new hash object implementing the
10 given hash function; initializing the hash
11 using the given string data.
13 Named constructor functions are also available, these are much faster
14 than using new():
16 md5(), sha1(), sha224(), sha256(), sha384(), and sha512()
18 More algorithms may be available on your platform but the above are
19 guaranteed to exist.
21 Choose your hash function wisely. Some have known weaknesses.
22 sha384 and sha512 will be slow on 32 bit platforms.
