Extra Newby question - Trying to create md5 File Listing

[James Johnston]

I've never written a Python program before and I'm trying to read a config
file with file path/names (eg. c:\\python24\\* .dll, ... *.exe) to create an
output file of filename + md5 values. I'm confused. I'm trying to learn
how to use Wing IDE and step through the Stack Data. It seems to be
working but on the

for fn in filelist:
data = file(fn,'rb').r ead()

I get a

IOError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'c')

Traceback (innermost last):

File "c:\Python examples\md5mak r_test4.py", line 1, in ?
#!/usr/bin/python
File "c:\Python examples\md5mak r_test4.py", line 20, in ?
data = file(fn,'rb').r ead()

Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
# Filename: md5makr_test4.p y

import sys, os, os.path, glob, md5, ConfigParser

config = ConfigParser.Co nfigParser()
config.read('md 5makr.ini')

outputfilname = config.get('gen eral', 'outputfile')
f = file(outputfiln ame,'wt')
fileconfig = config.get('gen eral', 'inputfiles')

fl = file(fileconfig ,'r')
fileData = fl.read()

for f1 in glob.glob(fileD ata):
filelist = f1

for fn in filelist:
data = file(fn,'rb').r ead()
hexstring = md5.md5(data).h exdigest()
f.write(fn + '\t' + hexstring + '/n')

f.close()

Any insight or help would be appreciated.

Thanks Dennis, I'm feeling very stupid. You're right about the config
file containing drive/path/filenames (eg. c:\python24\*.e xe or
whatever). I want to output a text file that contains records like
c:\python24\pyt honw.exe[tab]md5 value, ... next file record. The
following snippet works but I don't know how to loop through using the
config value to get e glob for each file. I'll keep working at it.

filelist = glob.glob('c:\\ python24\\*.exe ')

# print 'filelist is', filelist

for fn in filelist:
data = file(fn,'rb').r ead()
hexstring = md5.md5(data).h exdigest()
f.write(fn + '\t' + hexstring + '\n')

f.close()

Thanks.
