"No module named _md5" error in Python 2.5

[Peter]

Hi,

I ran into the same error today . . . I looked at the patch for  
setup.py and it looks that the line:
+disabled_module_list =  
["zlib","_hashlib","_ssl","_bsddb","_sqlite3","_tkinter","bz2","gdbm","r 
eadline","_curses","_curses_panel"]

disables the module needed for md5 hashing - but why ?
Does Python 2.5.1 not work unpatched – it sounds like it works for  
Silvio at least . . .
