Create pydotorg release automatically #302
Description
Activity
python/pythondotorg#2830 is where we added support to the website API to receive SHA-256.
python/release-tools#310 is where we updated the release to send SHA-256 when uploading files to the website API.
So in addition to the existing
md5_sumfield, there's a newsha256field.If you send both, the website will only show SHA-256, but both are stored in the database. We'll likely stop sending MD5 soon for Python releases, and it'll just show those.

[-]List SHA256 hashes in release build[/-][+]Create pydotorg release automatically[/+]on Apr 15, 2026
Currently we list MD5 because that's what the website needed, but it can handle SHA256 now so we should use those instead. Change should be in
ci/release.ymlfor Azure Pipelines.(Bonus points if someone knows how to use the API to publish the release all the way and wants to script it... looking at @hugovk )
