"ERROR:root:code for hash md5 was not found" when using any hg mercurial commands
Question:
When trying to use any hg Mercurial commands on the console, I keep getting this error.
I installed Python using Homebrew and I am running Mac OS Catalina v. 10.15.1.
Any reference would be appreciated. Here is the error I’m getting:
hg commit --amend

I also tried following the instruction on this issue but none of the solutions seem to work
brew link openssl --force
Warning: Refusing to link macOS-provided software: [email protected]
If you need to have [email protected] first in your PATH run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
For compilers to find [email protected] you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib"

For pkg-config to find [email protected] you may need to set:

Answers:
Managed to fix this by first unlinking openssl
brew unlink openssl
And then reinstalling python
brew reinstall python@2
I also noticed that when running ‘brew doctor’ there was a warning related to an openssl folder found in /usr/local/include/node/. I deleted this folder before running the above commands (not sure if related)
Running brew reinstall python@2 didn’t work for my existing Python 2.7 virtual environments. Inside them there were still ERROR:root:code for hash sha1 was not found errors.
I encountered this problem after I ran brew upgrade openssl. And here’s the fix:
$ ls /usr/local/Cellar/openssl
…which shows
1.0.2t
According to the existing version, run:
$ brew switch openssl 1.0.2t
…which shows
Cleaning /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t
Opt link created for /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t
After that, run the following command in a Python 2.7 virtualenv:
(my-venv) $ python -c "import hashlib;m=hashlib.md5();print(m.hexdigest())"
…which shows
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
No more errors.
The case for me is that when I install dependencies of a django web app, it messes up the environment. When I type cd, it shows the same error.
The problem was the openssl library, it can not find the correct ones.
If you are on Macintosh, you can type
ls /usr/local/Cellar/openssl
to see all the versions,
brew switch openssl 1.0.XXXX
to choose the available openssl version.
Then the error is gone 🙂
When I would import hashlib I would see an error message stating that hash md5 was not found.
I was able to fix this problem by first unlinking openssl:
brew unlink openssl
Then I uninstalled python 2.7 using MacPorts:
sudo port uninstall python27
Then I installed python 2.7 using MacPorts:
sudo port install python27
Now importing hashlib works 🙂
Just uninstall python2
$ brew uninstall python@2
If there is any error :
$ brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies python@2
I had this issue recently (2020, May) with Google’s GCP CLI. It also works on the obsolete Python 2.7.
This is a borked Python 2 installation problem. mBrew no longer correctly installs Python 2 gracefully, as no one cares about abondonware.
Conda still installs Python 2 in an environment; I did that.
My problem was multiple versions of python installed (python was still aliased to python2 but i wanted pip to use python3). i also have a python3 bin installed on my system
# use pip with python3
$ python3 -m pip install fish
see Dealing with multiple Python versions and PIP? for details
The next solution worked for me on MacOS Catalina:
- Unlink openssl
brew unlink openssl
- Reinstall python 2.7 (removed from homebrew and can’t be installed via
brew install python@2)
brew tap-new <user>/homebrew-python2
brew extract python@2 <user>/homebrew-python2
brew reinstall /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/<user>/homebrew-python2/Formula/[email protected]
On macOS Mojave (10.14.6), this worked for me:
- Save the file as [email protected] in your current directory.
- brew reinstall [email protected]
- I was using virtual environments, so I had to link them back to
/usr/local/bin/python and /usr/local/bin/pip for python and pip binaries.
After installing openssl I got the same problem. This answer didn’t help me, but after manual linking of libcrypto.1.1.dylib and libssl.1.1.dylib everything start working. In my case it was:
ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.1.dylib /usr/local/lib
ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.1.dylib /usr/local/lib
My problem was having pyenv installed and pointing to an old python 2 version
Uninstall python@2 (python2 was EOL since Jan 1st, 2020)
$ brew uninstall python@2
Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/python@2/2.7.15_1... (4,169 files, 76.0MB)
then
$ pyenv versions
system
* 2.7.12 (set by /Users/admin/.python-version)
3.4.5
3.7.7
$ pyenv local system
$ pyenv global system
For my case, I just reinstall python2 using pyenv
pyenv uninstall 2.7.18
pyenv install 2.7.18
then everything seems to hooks up.
In my case, my environment was using python 2.7.15. When I switched my pyenv version to 2.7.18 it just worked.
This fixed it for me, I use port not brew:
sudo port upgrade openssl
One reason: an older libssl is needed
When this error occurs, Python is not able to import the _hashlib.py module. One reason for this is libssl changing its ABI during version transition. This affects at least Python2.7.
Solution: Download libssl version 1.1.0, compile and install it in a different location. Then tell python during its configure process to use this old libssl library.
For me a non standard prefix like ./configure –prefix=/home/anyuser/python for the python code tree was sufficient (i installed libssl to /usr/local), as the parallel installed old libssl library in a usual place (/usr/local) was automatically found and used during the configuration and compile process.
This is a good example for why having /usr and /usr/local directories in parallel. I always wondered about that. /usr for the standard system stuff, /usr/local for additional parallel things.
After compiling python2.7 there appears a summary in the terminal where it tells you what went wrong during compilaton/linking. There should be no sign of a missed _hashlib anymore.
When trying to use any hg Mercurial commands on the console, I keep getting this error.
