After I posted, I did some more wild, random, send-up-a-prayer hacking and I
think I discovered the problem.  It appears that the name of the external method
and the name of the module file must be the same.  At least, I changed the name
of the file to genhash.py and things worked.  It could be that the file was
called md5.py, and since there is a Python module called md5, the interpreter
may have been getting confused.   I don't know which.  Can any one shed some
light on that?

Thanks for your help, Dieter!
