Why don't you show the result that you think is wrong instead of making useless
work for anyone interested?

Here is what I get:

 >>> import md5
 >>> m = md5.new()
 >>> m.update("a")
 >>> print m.hexdigest()
 0cc175b9c0f1b6a831c399e269772661

Now if you do the same with your reference implementation, we can get somewhere ;-)
BTW, I seem to have the same version as you (if you are on windows):

 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.version
 '2.3.2 (#49, Oct  2 2003, 20:02:00) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)]'
