Hi,

We are running are running Python program on Redhat 5.5.

When executing our program we get the following error ( see below).

Any ideas what this is due to?

On my computer hashlib has "md5" :



Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 15 2010, 16:22:56)
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import hashlib
h=hashlib.new("md5")
h.update("Hello")
h.hexdigest()
'd992641f1b2b9c08b569c0a17c4e7cb8'

While if I ask for a hash method that hashlib does not know, I get the same error as you :

>>> g=hashlib.new("bla")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/hashlib.py", line 101, in __hash_new
    return __get_builtin_constructor(name)(string)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/hashlib.py", line 80, in __get_builtin_constructor
    raise ValueError, "unsupported hash type"
ValueError: unsupported hash type


You should give us a more comprehensive example of your problem.

Laurent
