python查看哈希值_Python，获取图像对象的base64编码的MD5哈希值

I need to get a base64-encoded MD5 hash of an object, where the object is an image stored as a file, fname.

I've tried this:

def get_md5(fname):

hash = hashlib.md5()

with open(fname) as f:

for chunk in iter(lambda: f.read(4096), ""):

hash.update(chunk)

return hash.hexdigest().encode('base64').strip()

However, I don't think this is right because it returns a string with too many characters. My understanding is that it needs to be 24 characters long. I get

NjJiM2RlOWMzOTYxYmM3MDI5Y2Q1NzdjOTQ5YWRlYTQ=

I've tried a few other similar ways as well, for example, one that does not do the chunk loop thing. They all return the same string.

(My later actions that need the base64-encoded MD5 hash fail, and I'm thinking this could be why.)

解决方案

I was able to make it work by using digest() instead of hexdigest(). Then the last line becomes:

return hash.digest().encode('base64').strip()

The result was then 24 characters long, and it was accepted by Google Cloud Storage transfer, which required a base64-encoded MD5 hash.
