Cannot find HashLib module after server upgrade

Question

I am running Python scripts on our Dreamhost server. Our Python scripts use Python 2.7 - we created a custom installation because Dreamhost uses Python 2.6. Everything worked fine for 1 year.

Dreamhost made a yesturday server update, and now our scripts cannot find a specific module - MD5. The scripts output the error below when we go to import hashlib.

What do I need to do to fix this?

• Should I reinstall Python 2.7?
• Should I reinstall Pip and Easy_Install?
• Should I reinstall VirtualEnv?
• Is there anything else you recommend to me?

The error of all Python scripts:

/home/user/script.py in () 
  import hashlib  
  hashlib undefined    

/home/user/python/lib/python2.7/hashlib.py in ()  
    # version not supporting that algorithm.  
    try:  
        globals()[__func_name] = __get_hash(__func_name)  
    except ValueError:  
        import logging builtin globals = <built-in function globals, __func_name = 'md5', __get_hash = <function __get_builtin_constructor  /home/user/python/lib/python2.7/hashlib.py in __get_builtin_constructor(name='md5')  
        return _sha.new  
    elif name in ('MD5', 'md5'):  
        import _md5  
         return _md5.new  
     elif name in ('SHA256', 'sha256', 'SHA224', 'sha224'):  
 _md5 undefined  

<type 'exceptions.ImportError': No module named _md5  
   args = ('No module named _md5',)  
   message = 'No module named _md5'
