SABnzbd Forums

Hello,
I use SABNZBD on Linux. I upgraded to latest "porteus 3.0" 64bit Linux (www.porteus.org) , with newest python:


Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Nov 27 2010, 17:27:14)
[GCC 4.5.1] on linux2


When I try to start Sabnzbd, now I get the following error:


bash-4.2$ /usr/local/src/SABnzbd-0.7.16/cherrypy/lib/cptools.py:8: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead

Any help of just what to do ?

start python and type "from md5 import new as md5".

Like this:
If that doesn't work, fix your python installation.

the md5 module is deprecated

Deprecated doesn't mean "not available".
Even 2.7 distributions still contain the md5 module.
attlinux's Python installation has a problem.

It's the third-party CherryPy web library that contains the problem.
The version of CherryPy module we use is fairly old and will be replaced in the next major SABnzbd release.
