I'm referring to the text in http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.2/lib/module-md5.html, which shows the same thing I see in the Windows version of the help.
The two examples show: '\xbbd\x9c\x83\xdd\x1e\xa5\xc9\xd9\xde\xc9\xa1\x8d\xf0\xff\xe9' as the output, and that is indeed what I see when I run the examples. But if I use hexdigest() instead of digest(), I get this result: 'bb649c83dd1ea5c9d9dec9a18df0ffe9' I don't understand the difference. Specifically, in the output of digest, it shows a 'd' where I expect to see \x64. What causes this difference? Thanks, --dang -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
