I am trying to get the md5 checksum of some files and write them into a temp file.
import os
import hashlib
PID = str(os.getpid())
manifest = open('/temp/tmp/MANIFEST.'+ PID + '.tmp','w') #e.g. MANIFEST.48938.tmp
for elmt in files_input:
input = open(elmt['file'], "r", 'us-ascii') #'us-ascii' when I ran "file --mime"
manifest.write(hashlib.md5(input.read()).hexdigest())
From this I get a Python error that I haven't able to resolve:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "etpatch.py", line 131, in <module>
input = open(elmt['file'], "r", 'us-ascii')
TypeError: an integer is required
Some people have had this error from doing "from os import *" but I am not doing this nor am I using import * on any other module.
