Instead of byte literals, how about a classmethod bytes.fromhex(), which works like this:

# two equivalent things expectedmd5hash = bytes.fromhex('5c535024cac5199153e3834fe5c92e6a')

I hope this will also be equivalent:

expectedmd5hash = bytes.fromhex('5c 53 50 24 ca c5 19 91 53 e3 83 4f e5 c9 2e 6a')
