Answer 1

You are using dev version of Django (1.4), and there is no get_hexdigest method in corresponding module.

Solutions:

• use 1.3 version (it’s the last stable at the moment)
• implement get_hexdigest yourself (it can be copypasted from here)
• use another tool (that doesn’t have compatibility problems) to solve your task
