From 312ffead1eb272535e021e248b5d74ab04b2e72e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sww Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2017 23:24:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Improve code examples in hashlib cookie signing (GH-3562) The `blake2b` function does not take the `data` keyword argument. The hex digest returned by sign was a string, whereas compare_digest expects bytes-like objects.
