If you need to get the MD5 sum of a string using Python, then you can do the following.
Step 1
Firstly, we need to use the hashlib module:
import hashlib
Step 2
Now make sure that the input string is encoded correctly.
your_input = "this is your input string".encode('utf-8')
Step 3
Finally use the md5 function of the hashlib module, and get the hexdigest() value from it:
hashlib.md5(your_input).hexdigest()
Putting it all together
import hashlib
your_input = "this is your input string".encode('utf-8')
hashed = hashlib.md5(your_input).hexdigest()
print(hashed)
# --> af0874120fd6196ea1feeebdb6de0e54
