Arduino & Python MD5

Question

Well, I tried to hash a string, or at least a set of numbers in Python, and compare it to the one that was generated using the MD5 library updated by Scott MacVicar on Arduino, but the results I get are different.

Arduino Code:

#include <MD5.h> 

void setup()
{
   //initialize serial
   Serial.begin(9600);
   //give it a second
   delay(1000);
   //generate the MD5 hash for our string
   unsigned char* hash=MD5::make_hash("hello");
   //generate the digest (hex encoding) of our hash
   char *md5str = MD5::make_digest(hash, 16);
   //print it on our serial monitor
   Serial.println(md5str);
}

Result: 5d41402abc4b2a76b9e4080020008c00

Python Code:

from hashlib import md5

m = md5('hello').hexdigest()
print m    

Result: 5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592

From what I see in every attempt, the difference is the sum of the last 14 characters. But the length of the generated hashes is the same!

What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Edit:

I used the command from the terminal and got:

echo -n 'hello' | openssl md5

Result: 5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592

Which makes me think that the root of the problem is in the arduino code
