Correctly handle unicode for Python 3. This may also be needed if you want to use non-ascii characters in passwords with Python 2.
I considered pushing this straight to master, but I wanted to remind people how we're handling Python 3 compatibility. I've used
cast_bytes
on password, so it can be passed in either as bytes or unicode. The salt is generated in the native str type for each platform, so it goes throughstr_to_bytes
, which is a no-op on Python 2.I'll merge this tomorrow, unless anyone objects.
