Re: Password hasher for vBulletin?

Do you have extra good reason to call hashlib function with a variable
called password ?

If you simply want to hash user password, django provide a few
function for that job [1].

it's used like that:
>>> from django.contrib.auth.hashers import make_password, >>> check_password
>>> pwd = make_password("foobar")
>>> checkpassword("foobar", pwd)
Notice how you don't have to worry about thing like salt. Django take
care of that.

To answer your question, you are trying to concatenate
`hashlib.md5(force_bytes(password)).hexdigest()`, which is a str and
`force_bytes(salt)`, which is a bytes. You can add a str() aroung the
second part or a force_bytes around the first one.
