HMAC signing requests in Python
I'm trying to create an HMAC-SHA512 signed request for an API call in Python 3.4 using the requests library. I'm trying to follow docs, but am hitting this error: AttributeError: '_hashlib.HASH' object has no attribute 'new' Here's some code. It's failing with the error on the hmac constructor. It's fine if I try and pass hashlib.md5() or omit the digest parameter entirely. I'm not sure if I'm signing the request properly afterwards as I haven't got that far yet. The docs for the service I'm trying to use say to sign the URL with my secret. I need this to be a byte string for this to work.
