Good evening, I need to generate checksums of a file, store the value in a variable, and pass it along for later comparison.
The MD5 module would seem to do the trick but I'm sketchy on implementation. The nearest I can see would be import md5 m=md5.new() contents = open(self.file_name,"rb").read() check=md5.update(contents) However this does not appear to be actually returning the checksum. Does anyone have insight into where I am going wrong? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
