md5 passwords

[Timothy Grant]

Can anyone explain to me how to use the md5 module to generate
passwords for the shadow password file?

I would like to be able to be able to os.system('useradd -p
md5/crypt username')

I can generate the required crypt hashes no problem, but can't
seem to figure out how to generate and md5 hash that looks
anything like what I see in /etc/shadow.
