Error importing module _md5, and relevant RPM
Question: I have a python script that used to run, although since moving servers at work
it now throws up a strange error:

    
    
    >>> import _md5
        ImportError: No module named _md5
    

The general setup is all correct, as is my python path and seemingly
everything else. I was told that I need to install the relevant RPM for this
to work, but have no idea what this might be - could anyone please point me in
the right direction?

These machines have a setup that prohibits me using `yum`, so I need to make a
request to those maintaining the system about which RPM I want installed.


Answer: Based on extra bit of information from the OP, they use Python 2.5+ on the new
server. Suggested remedy is to use standard `hashlib` module. Which provides
MD5 hash implementation among other things.
