I am having a hard time figuring out a reasonable way to generate a mixed-case hash in Python.
I want to generate something like: aZeEe9E
Right now I'm using MD5, which doesn't generate case-sensitive hashes.
Do any of you know how to generate a hash value consisting of upper- and lower- case characters + numbers?

Okay, GregS's advice worked like a charm (on the first try!):
Here is a simple example:
>>> import hashlib, base64 >>> s = 'http://gooogle.com' >>> hash = hashlib.md5(s).digest() >>> print hash 46c4f333fae34078a68393213bb9272d >>> print base64.b64encode(hash) NDZjNGYzMzNmYWUzNDA3OGE2ODM5MzIxM2JiOTI3MmQ=
