Yes, while it's a great practice, it's just something that newbies of any programming like me at the time may run into. Often when being taught programming, hash functions are purely functions of input data. My point was that Python, for very valid and good reasons, does not do that.

Well they are pure functions of input data. It's just that which pure function they are should be treated as a random value that changes over runs / version numbers.
