Re: Send mail bug needs password passed as bytearray

I've never seen a password as a bytearray. Is there webfaction documentation about this?

myMail = EmailMessage('subject', 'message', 'some...@address.com', ['mye...@address.com'])
myMail.send()

The error I'm getting:

There was solution from this ticket with the same problem. But then the fixed commit was removed here.

The settings needed to send emails now

EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.webfaction.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '****'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = bytearray('******', 'utf-8')
EMAIL_PORT = 587

So 2 questions:

Am I missing something simple?

Is this a bug and needs a ticket?

Cheers
