Comment (by bbangert):
This shouldn't be fixed in Python. The maintainer of the hashlib package
that you installed should really fix this. It isn't a beaker compatibility
issue, its due to the hashlib module you installed (which is why our
Python 2.4 buildbot did not see this issue).
Note:
http://www.google.com/codesearch?as_q=hmac+hashlib+sha1+ImportError&btnG=Search+Code&hl=en&as_lang=&as_license_restrict=i&as_license=&as_package=&as_filename=\.py%24&as_case=
There is a '''lot''' of packages that look for hashlib like we do,
'''NONE''' of them will work on your system as long as you have that
hashlib package that doesn't work like the Python 2.5 and later one.
Are you really suggesting that everyone put in a decent amount of
try/except's along with other various feature tests to deal with *one*
guy's hashlib package that uses the same namespace as a later Python
versions and thus causes this whole problem?
I mean, its possible that a proper solution might be that everyone goes
and does this.... but I'd like to believe this is a situation where the
hashlib package for Python 2.4 users should monkey-patch hmac so that its
used properly, as feature testing around the issue is rather ugly.
