Comparing Python Hashes

I want to compare a hash of my password to a hash of what the user typed in, with (str)(hashlib.md5(pw.encode(‘utf-8′)).hexdigest()). The hash of the password is b’¥_ÆMÐ1;2±*öªÝ=’. However, when I run the above code, I get b’xa5x83_xc6x85Mxd01;2xb1*xf6xaaxdd=’. For this reason, I can’t compare these two strings. I’m looking for a function that can convert b’xa5x83_xc6x85Mxd01;2xb1*xf6xaaxdd=’ to b’¥_ÆMÐ1;2±*öªÝ=’ logically (each of

How to get MD5 sum of a string using python?
