[OTR-users] Calculating my OTR-Fingerprint

Hi there!
I've tested several OTR plugins for IMs. Pidgin e.g. displays a 
fingerprint of my public key. The raw info of my public / private key is 
saved in a file called <username>_otr.private_key having the syntax:

(privkeys
  (account
(name OTR)
(protocol JABBER)
(private-key
  (dsa
   (p #<large number>#)
   (q #<not so large number>#)
   (g #<large number>#)
   (y #<large number>#)
   (x #not so large number#)
   )
  )
  )

Can anybody tell me how to calculate this fingerprint? I searched the 
net for a long time but couldn't find anything :((
Thanks in advance, greetings
