When using xmlrpc to communicate with the hellanzb daemon, these deprecation warnings are always shown:

/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/twisted/internet/_sslverify.py:5: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
  import itertools, md5
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/twisted/python/filepath.py:12: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead
  import sha
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/Hellanzb/Util.py:33: DeprecationWarning: BaseException.message has been deprecated as of Python 2.6
  self.message = message

Installed hellanzb version is 0.13-r7
Installed python version is 2.6.1

Fix python-2.6 DeprecationWarning

I found a ticket at the hellanzb project: http://www.hellanzb.com/trac/hellanzb/ticket/419
I took the patch from there and made it work for gentoo (deleted 2 hunks because the files are not there).
There is still a problem with the dev-python/twisted-8.2.0 package.
I will create a new bug for that.
New ebuild with added patch line will follow.

See bug 268737 for the dev-python/twisted-8.2.0 part.

Why do you do "try import hashlib except importerror" ? At least python2.5 has hashlib here.
This would be fine if the patch didn't change later the call from md5.new() to md5() which will probably fail if hashlib isn't there.

He probably wants to support Python 2.4...

It won't fail.
