[17:45] <manusheel> kandarpk: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4222
[17:59] <kandarpk> alsroot: around ?
[18:02] <alsroot> kandarpk: yup
[18:05] <kandarpk> alsroot: I wished to know how could we generate hash of a file
[18:05] <kandarpk> that is stored in the journal
[18:06] <manusheel> alsroot: Kandarp is working on SL #2093.
[18:06] <manusheel> alsroot: Walter provided a pointer on this issue - to compare hash of the files.
[18:07] <alsroot> kandarpk: datastore launches md5sum command
[18:08] <kandarpk> alsroot: can we manually use it on some files ?
[18:09] <alsroot> kandarpk: why not, but since TA files should not be huge, you can use hashlib python library http://docs.python.org/library/hashlib.html to not exec shell process from TA
[18:10] <alsroot> kandarpk: if they could be big, then you can do the same as ds does, launch md5sum command (didn't try to find better method)
[18:11] <alsroot> s/didn't try/I didn't try/
[18:11] <kandarpk> alsroot: OK, thanks.
[18:11] <kandarpk> will try them
[18:14] <kandarpk> alsroot: how could we launch md5sum from inside sugar ?
[18:17] <alsroot> kandarpk: use subprocess module http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html
[18:19] <kandarpk> alsroot: and hashlib is accepting string to generate the hash, how could we provide file as input ?
[18:19] <alsroot> kandarpk: just read the whole file
[18:20] <kandarpk> alsroot: ok.
[18:20] <kandarpk> thanks.
