This likely indicates some problem with "openssl" support: on some platforms, "hashlib" delegates to the "openssl" libraries. As a first step, I would verify that the "openssl" development package (on OS, not Python level) is installed. If not, install it. Then regenerate your local Python and check whether the problem has disappeared. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
