import os
import hashlib

fileList = os.walk("c:\\temp")
for tuple in fileList:
    for item in tuple[2]:
        d = hashlib.md5(file(tuple[0] + "\\" + item, 'r').read()).hexdigest()
        print [item, d]

Try using 'rb' and also try using the md5 method - at present you are using SHA1 - which is a different algorithm, and I presume from your explanation that the other tools are using md5.
