I recently attempted to move my web2py install to a different server.
All went well except for passwords failing to validate. It turns out
that the version of python I was using (2.5.1) had an issue with
hmac. Essentialy the following will give an incorrect digest on this
version of python:
hmac.new("salt", "password", hashlib.sha512).hexdigest()
Although this is clearly an issue with python rather than web2py, I
was wondering about the best way to deal with this. I can move the
hmac.py from the old install but don't want to break any other
functionality. What is the best approach?
Thanks.
