 Compute a hash of a local package archive.
These can be used with --hash in a requirements file to do repeatable
installs.  pip hash is a convenient way to get a hash digest for use with
Hash-checking Mode, especially for packages with multiple archives. The
error message from pip install --require-hashes ... will give you one
hash, but, if there are multiple archives (like source and binary ones), you
will need to manually download and compute a hash for the others. Otherwise, a
spurious hash mismatch could occur when pip install is passed a
different set of options, like --no-binary.
