ERROR:root:code for hash md5 was not found

[Ibad Kureshi U0850037]

Hello,

I am bit new to python and am struggling to install NumPy and SciPy on to Python 2.7. Based on my understanding I believe that the problem is with my Python install rather than the way I am installing NumPy. I have seen only two other threads that deal with this issue but both threads just end with no solutions.

I am on a CENTOS 5.8 system. With python 2.7 installed from source in a self contained folder. I am using environment modules to manage the different versions of python.

When I invoke the NumPy installer I get the following:


python setup.py build --fcompiler=gnu95
Running from numpy source directory.ERROR:root:code for hash md5 was not found.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/apps/libs/python/2.7.3/lib/python2.7/hashlib.py", line 139, in <module>
    globals()[__func_name] = __get_hash(__func_name)
  File "/apps/libs/python/2.7.3/lib/python2.7/hashlib.py", line 91, in __get_builtin_constructor
    raise ValueError('unsupported hash type %s' % name)
ValueError: unsupported hash type md5
ERROR:root:code for hash sha1 was not found.
..
..
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'md5'

If I start python and try to call the file I see the following:
