xtractor's Issues

Add a way to get MD5 digest for a file

We need a way to get the MD5 digest for a file at a given path. For example, given a path like "/home/kim/mydata.txt", which contains the text The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, it should return "9e107d9d372bb6826bd81d3542a419d6".

pythonic thinking

Currently this program goes about using the python interrupter to begin and execute each of its methods.

It would be advantageous to approach in a pythonic and application style.

• Add main function
• Call inner methods
• Command line callable
