Fingerprints for session.

I found this in js docs. Is this implemented also for python? How can i generate fingerprints based on session_id? https://crawlee.dev/js/api/browser-pool/interface/FingerprintOptions#useFingerprintCache

import hashlib
def fingerprint(session_id,salt="secret"):
return hashlib.sha256((session_id+salt).encode()).hexdigest()
print(fingerprint("abc123")) Please refer to this code. In Python, you’ll replicate that behavior using hashing (hashlib) or UUIDs.

Hi @Drogbata , this is not supported in the Crawlee for Python, you can open a feature request, if you wish.
