How can I get an sha1 hash in base32?

[Elmo Mäntynen]

I know how to make a hash(using mhash), but instead of encoded as hex I
want it in base32 for use with the bitzi catalog. python-bitzi is useful
but way too slow for just getting the hash of a file(am going to use it
elsewhere). Thanks.

Doesn't Bitzi calculate some kind of audio fingerprint? Just a hash of
the file would result in very different hash values for different codecs,
bitrates etc. for the "same" audio data.

I don't think it does, but musicbrainz is designed for just that, and
there's a ptyhon binding for using the libs.
