Try using hashlib.md5. From the docs: >>> import hashlib >>> m = hashlib.md5() >>> m.update("Nobody inspects") >>> m.update(" the spammish repetition") >>> m.digest() '\xbbd\x9c\x83\xdd\x1e\xa5\xc9\xd9\xde\xc9\xa1\x8d\xf0\xff\xe9' http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/module-hashlib.html Garrick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
