Research direction

Start by reviewing pull request 1427 and checking the current hashlib behavior in IronPython 3.6. Confirm whether blake2b, blake2s, the four SHA-3 algorithms, and the two SHAKE algorithms are available; done means all eight algorithms are enabled when their underlying support is available.
