These 3 lines do not come from the interpreter.
It might come from the hashlib module.

This is a standard traceback from the interpreter.
The manual says that md5 should always be available.
On the other hand, hashlib depends on the OpenSSL library on your 
system. Perhaps RedHat removed md5 because it has been broken.
I suggest you ask them or check your OpenSSL doc. The Python manual may 
need to be changed.
