md5 Module Problem on mod_python
I got this error message in my /var/log/apache2/error.log:
[Fri Aug 14 10:16:51 2009] [error] /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mod_python/importer.py:32: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
[Fri Aug 14 10:16:51 2009] [error] import md5
I had tried upgrade the libapache2-mod-python package from 3.3.1-6build2 (jaunty package) to 3.3.1-7 (karmic package), but it wasn’t solve the problem.
So, the solution is edit /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mod_python/importer.py. Change import md5 to from hashlib import md5 and also md5.new(file).hexdigest() to md5(file).hexdigest().
