Is your copy/paste broken?  It could be useful to actually show in what 
way it "fails."

The md5 method produces a "HASH object", not a string.  So int() cannot 
process that.

To produce a digest string from the hash object, you want to call 
hexdigest() method.  The result of that is a hex literal string.  So you 
cannot just call int() on it, since that defaults to decimal.

To convert a hex string to an int, you need the extra parameter of int:

    int(mystring, 16)

Now, see if you can piece it together.
