When you call file.read(), it returns a string which you can feed to
the crc32 funtion. Remember to open the file in binary 'rb' mode. If
the files get large, you might want to read the file in chunks of
limited size using file.read(CHUNKSIZE). In this case, you pass the
so-far-computed checksum to crc32 as the second argument.
