Preparation for generic user views Added a getSuffixValues method that is meant to allow for having a non-public field as key_name. Also added support for a key-name field being embeded in the form so that if the key-fields change the old key_name is not lost.

hashlib module containing both hash algorithms. Here, we provide a common
interface to the md5 and sha constructors, preferring the hashlib module when
available.
