In the PyPI top 5000 packages, a single package uses the pystrhex.h private functions: the pysha3 package uses the private function _Py_strhex().

the pysha3 package uses the private function _Py_strhex()

https://pypi.org/project/pysha3/ is a backport of the Python stdlib _sha3 module for Python 2.7-3.6. The latest release was published in 2017. Since this project only makes sense on Python 3.6 and older, I don't think that we should bother with this module. It should not be used on Python 3.11 which already provides a maintained _sha3 module.
