Hello!

I was looking at installing Python 3, but I try to verify any software I install with a sha256sum. On the python page they provide a MD5 hash, but nowhere could I find a sha256 sum. Anaconda provides sha256 claiming that it is more secure than MD5, so why does the official Python site not? Is there a way for me to get that value?
