No, that statement does not "convert" a string into another, but rather
returns a "md5 HASH object":

>>> import hashlib
>>> hashlib.md5('foo')
<md5 HASH object @ 0xb76dbcf0>

Consulting the hashlib documentation[1], you could learn about that
object's methods.

Because in general you can't "convert" an arbitrary object instance (in
your case an hashlib.HASH instance) to an integer value. Why do you need
an integer? Isn't hexdigest() what you want?

>>> print _.hexdigest()

Do yourself a favor and learn using the interpreter to test your
snippets line by line, most problems will find an easy answer :-)
