I tried the script and had to get a hexdigest to get the value providedMy test:SimplyMEPIS-3.3.1-1.iso
checksum: 41a19060d3bb37bd596708ba77964491i got: 41a19060d3bb37bd596708ba77964491Do people normally provide md5 checksum in a hexadecimal string?Besides that, is the script reliable?

Hi,How do you calculate the md5 checksum of a file?so far i got this,import md5obj = md5.new()file = open( 'filename', 'rb') data = "">obj.update(data)checksum = md5.digest
()Is this correct? Is there anything else i should do before comparing the checksum with the one provided for the file?Thank
