Following snippet presents basic usage of python hashlib.md5
(in py2.7).
>>> import hashlib
>>> m = hashlib.md5()
>>> m.update('phrase')
>>> m.digest()
'8Z\xa58^\x83\xef\xc5\xd8<u\x88\xee_\xb7\xe8'
>>> type(m.digest())
<type 'str'>
I've got two questions:
385aa5385e83efc5d83c7588ee5fb7e8
? What is this escaped hex representation used for? For 1.: Just use m.hexdigest()
.
See here for docs: http://docs.python.org/2/library/hashlib.html#hashlib.hash.hexdigest
You are looking at the binary representation of the hash digest. What you want is the hex digest, produced by hash.hexdigest()
:
>>> import hashlib
>>> m = hashlib.md5()
>>> m.update('phrase')
>>> m.hexdigest()
'385aa5385e83efc5d83c7588ee5fb7e8'
Python gives you access to both the original binary value and the hexadecimal representation.
