[issue21306] PEP 466: backport hmac.compare_digest

[Matthias Urlichs]

Matthias Urlichs added the comment:

Currently (Debian's 2.7.7-rc1 package) hmac.compare_digest accepts two bytestring arguments, or two Unicode stings, but not one bytestring and one unicode.

I don't think that's a good idea.
