avatar Bite 228. Create a Gravatar URL

In this Bite you will generate a Gravatar URL, e.g. https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/5b13356d467af88631503c27a3d0e0cf?s=200&r=g&d=robohash.

In this URL 5b13356d467af88631503c27a3d0e0cf is a hash of a lowercase and stripped email address.

Code create_gravatar_url hashing the passed in email arg. You can see a PHP example and you want to use hashlib + its md5 / hexdigest methods ...

Here is how the function works in the REPL. Note that spaces and case sensitivity won't matter: they produce the same hash and thus gravatar:

>>> from gravatar import create_gravatar_url
>>> create_gravatar_url("[email protected]")
'https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/5b13356d467af88631503c27a3d0e0cf?s=200&r=g&d=robohash'
>>> create_gravatar_url("[email protected]", 300)
'https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/5b13356d467af88631503c27a3d0e0cf?s=300&r=g&d=robohash'
>>> create_gravatar_url("[email protected] ", 300)
'https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/5b13356d467af88631503c27a3d0e0cf?s=300&r=g&d=robohash'
>>> create_gravatar_url("[email protected] ", 300)
'https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/5b13356d467af88631503c27a3d0e0cf?s=300&r=g&d=robohash'
