I modified line 15 as below and it worked just fine:

sha.update(str(self.index).encode('utf-8') + str(self.timestamp).encode('utf-8') + str(self.data).encode('utf-8') + str(self.previous_hash).encode('utf-8'))

:Thank you +1:

sha.update(str(self.index).encode('utf-8') + str(self.timestamp).encode('utf-8') + str(self.data).encode('utf-8') + str(self.previous_hash).encode('utf-8'))

You're right !

For anyone in Python 3, just changed the line 14. Tested and it worked
