How to get MD5 sum of a string using python

Question

In the Flickr API docs  you need to find the MD5 sum of a string to generate the  api sig  value   How does one go about generating an MD5 sum from a string    Flickr s example   string  000005fab4534d05api key9a0554259914a86fb9e7eb014e4e5d52permswrite  MD5 sum  a02506b31c1cd46c2e0b6380fb94eb3d

Use hashlib md5 in Python 3  import hashlib  source    000005fab4534d05api key9a0554259914a86fb9e7eb014e4e5d52permswrite  encode   md5   hashlib md5 source  hexdigest     returns a str print md5    a02506b31c1cd46c2e0b6380fb94eb3d  If you need byte type output  use digest   instead of hexdigest

You can do the following   Python 2 x  import hashlib print hashlib md5  whatever your string is   hexdigest       Python 3 x  import hashlib print hashlib md5  whatever your string is  encode  utf-8    hexdigest        However in this case you re probably better off using this helpful Python module for interacting with the Flickr API    http   stuvel eu flickrapi       which will deal with the authentication for you   Official documentation of hashlib

You can use b character in front of a string literal   import hashlib print hashlib md5 b Hello MD5   hexdigest    print hashlib md5  Hello MD5  encode  utf-8    hexdigest        Out   e5dadf6524624f79c3127e247f04b548 e5dadf6524624f79c3127e247f04b548

Have you tried using the MD5 implementation in hashlib  Note that hashing algorithms typically act on binary data rather than text data  so you may want to be careful about which character encoding is used to convert from text to binary data before hashing   The result of a hash is also binary data - it looks like Flickr s example has then been converted into text using hex encoding  Use the hexdigest function in hashlib to get this

Try This  import hashlib user   input  Enter text here    h   hashlib md5 user encode    h2   h hexdigest   print h2

For Python 2 x  use python s hashlib  import hashlib m   hashlib md5   m update  000005fab4534d05api key9a0554259914a86fb9e7eb014e4e5d52permswrite   print m hexdigest     Output  a02506b31c1cd46c2e0b6380fb94eb3d

You can Try with   python3 import hashlib rawdata    put your data here  sha   hashlib sha256 str rawdata  encode  utf-8    hexdigest    For Sha256 hash print sha  mdpass   hashlib md5 str sha  encode  utf-8    hexdigest    For MD5 hash print mdpass
