Tomaz Muraus commented on LIBCLOUD-139:
---------------------------------------
Uh, looks like Linode changed their password policy. Will research it.
In the past (pre 3.x support) we did:
root = os.urandom(8).encode('hex')
which is exactly the same thing we currently do, but it also works with Python
3.
root = u(binascii.hexlify(os.urandom(8).encode('hex'))
Your solution works, but it's not really correct - we don't encode the result
which type is bytes which means calling u on it will result in string
b'random'... (e.g. b'foobarfoolo')
It works because this string includes special characters - quotes.

> I think this:

> should be something like this:
> root = u(binascii.hexlify(os.urandom(8)))
> You'll also need to 'import os' too.
