Enable 3.x unicode behavior under 2.x #20

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Passlib currently returns unicode strings under 3.x, and bytes under 2.x, as 
detailed at 
http://packages.python.org/passlib/password_hash_api.html#unicode-behavior

It might prove useful for some applications to get unicode returned even under 
2.x, especially if they are already unicode aware. This should be relatively 
easy, by adding a global flag to change the behavior of utils.to_hash_str() and 
a few other routines. Would just add complication to the unittesting. 

Might be worth adding at some point, especially if a request crops up.

Though I dislike the idea of a flag which changes global library behavior... 
could instead have set on a per-context basis, such as adding a 
`context__hash_encoding` parameter to CryptPolicy. Will have to revisit this 
towards end of 1.6 dev cycle.

After some consideration and study of how larger frameworks like Django are 
handling things, I've decided the utility of this feature is outweighed by the 
maintenance burden.
