It turned out to be easier than I thought to rewrite hashlib to be resumable, at least, the SHA-256 portion. I spent some time playing with C code that uses the OpenSSL crypto library, but then I realised that I don’t need all that stuff, I can just use ctypes.

''' Resumable SHA-256 hash for large files using the OpenSSL crypto library
The hashing process may be interrupted by Control-C (SIGINT) or SIGTERM.
When a signal is received, hashing continues until the end of the
current chunk, then the current file position, total file size, and
the sha object is saved to a file. The name of this file is formed by
appending '.hash' to the name of the file being hashed.
Just re-run the program to resume hashing. The '.hash' file will be deleted
once hashing is completed.

edit
I’ve just made a minor edit to allow rehash to work on Windows, too, although I’ve only tested it on WinXP. The libeay32.dll can be in the current directory, or somewhere in the system library search path, eg WINDOWS\system32. My rather ancient (and mostly unused) XP installation couldn’t find the .dll, even though it’s used by OpenOffice and Avira. So I just copied it from the Avira folder to system32. And now it works perfectly. 🙂
