[issue16063] HMAC trans_5C is a string, causing a TypeError
New submission from Adam Glenn: When passing 2 unicode objects to hmac.new() I'm getting "TypeError: character mapping must return integer, None or unicode" I've tried this using hashlib.sha1 and hashlib.md5 and the behavior is the same. What I think is happening is that the trans_5C join at the top of this module is a string so it's causing the type error when I try to generate the new hmac object at line 72. -- components: None messages: 171384 nosy: Adam.Glenn priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: HMAC trans_5C is a string, causing a TypeError type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue16063> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue16063] HMAC trans_5C is a string, causing a TypeError
Adam Glenn added the comment: I did some more testing and verified that this is a problem caused by the fact that trans_5C is a string and not unicode. It also happens when trans_36 is sent to key.translate().
