Hi, Maybe I'm completely dense with regards to the hmac module and HMAC in general, but I've searched and cannot find for the life of me the answer to this very basic question.
What format does hmac require the key to be in? I have a key in hexadecimal, do I give it the hex? Do I decode that to binary and give it that? Do I try to figure out what passphrase generated the hex and give it that instead? Nowhere in the documentation does it appear to mention what form the key must take, or how you tell it what form it's in for it to "figure it out". If someone could enlighten me, I'd be most grateful. Regards, Stuart Longland -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
