[New-bugs-announce] [issue16063] HMAC trans_5C is a string, causing a TypeError

[Adam Glenn]

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.
