On python3.1 I get the following error using your (untested) two line snippet:
TypeError: Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing
If I add the b back into the mix, I get a hash with no error messages.
But I still can't quite figure out how to get the variable contents
into the hashing function.
Since you top-posted, I'm clipping out all the stuff that is now out of
order. Add your remarks after the part you're quoting.
You're in Python 3, and you have a password in a string variable pass,
and you want to use those bytes as an argument to a function that takes
bytes?
Convert the string to bytes. If the string is ASCII, you can simply use
the bytes() function. If not, you may need to specify an encoding.
The b'xxx' syntax is only for entering in a literal byte string. It
gets encoded according to the source file's encoding declaration. But
that's not generally of any use for passwords, since you're going to ask
the user the password, not enter it into the source.
