    replied to write md5 to file
    in Python
    I am done :D
    The solution was probably not the most elegant, but my approaching headache suggested that I should take the easy route :)

    Here are the relevant parts of the main program:
    Code:
    snip...
class Config:
snip...
        sum_md5='/usr/bin/startup-manager-md5.sh'
        md5_file='/tmp/grub_password_line'
snip...
class SumGui:
snip...
    def on_update_password_button_clicked(self,

      Thanks, but md5.md5() is an other name for md5.new()
      md5.md5() is "For backward compatibility reasons"
      http://docs.python.org/lib/module-md5.html
      The module md5 is also deprecated, but that is another issue(my distro use python 2.4)

      Anyway, I have investigated further.
      I downloaded the grub source code and saw that grub-md5-crypt was only a shell-script wrapper around /sbin/grub itself.

        Ok, here is the line in question:

        Generated from python with .hexdigest()
        password --md5 098f6bcd4621d37 3cade4e832627b4 f6

        Generated from python with .digest()
        password --md5 �k�F!�s�� N�&'��

        Generated from grub-md5-crypt
        password --md5 $1$Kxafj1$Hz4Lu QNJ6UsGkadbkm9j E0

          write md5 to file

          I am trying to get StartUp-Manager to write the grub password in encrypted form to menu.lst. Currently it writes the password in plain-text and that is not too clever...

          This is the function I currently use:
          Code:
          def on_update_password_button_clicked(self, widget):
        if self.password_entry.get_text() == self.confirm_password_entry.get_text():
                password=self.password_entry.get_text()
          ...
