title: Hashing (hiding) strings in Python
body: <p>What I need is to hash a string. It doesn't have to be secure because it's just going to be a hidden phrase in the text file (it just doesn't have to be recognizable for a human-eye). </p>
  
  <p>It should not be just a random string because when the users types the string I would like to hash it and compare it with an already hashed one (from the text file).</p>
  
  <p>What would be the best for this purpose? Can it be done with the built-in classes?</p>
