Hashing a file in Python

Question

I want python to read to the EOF so I can get an appropriate hash, whether it is sha1 or md5. Please help. Here is what I have so far:

import hashlib

inputF         


        

Answer 1

I have programmed a module wich is able to hash big files with different algorithms.

pip3 install py_essentials

Use the module like this:

from py_essentials import hashing as hs
hash = hs.fileChecksum("path/to/the/file.txt", "sha256")
