[issue21306] PEP 466: backport hmac.compare_digest

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

That restriction is deliberate (and documented). As a 3.x backport, this
utility inherits some of Python 3's pedantry about requiring explicit
conversions between binary and text data and being consistent as to which
domain you're operating in.
