Hi, please don't post this to comp.lang.python *and* the python mailinglist. Both are synchronized, so your post shows up twice on both.

Normally, it should be import md5 So you might try to alter the import statement to import md5 as _md5 and see if things work. It might be of course that the author of your script provided a home-grown implementation of md5 which has a different interface, and called this _md5 to prevent name-clashes. Then you need to modify your whole script to make it work. > > Googling the problem suggested that I install the 'py25-hashlib'. > > the following does not work for me 'sudo port install py25-hashlib' , > trying to install MacPorts raised many problems. > > My question is: any idea on how to install it using yum? > I am running python 2.6.2 on a centos machine. I don't understand this - you are talking about ports which is a Mac-thing, but run on centos? However that may be, this *should* be part of core python anyway. If not, you might look in yum for some python-dependency-packages, no idea how to do that though (debian user here) Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
