Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #17040, comment 6

initial	v1
1		I am by no crypto expert, but since constant_time_compare in the django and the contrib apps is only used to compare hashes or some sort of tokens I'd think it save to assume byte strings is the "right thing". Since a unicode string can use one or two bytes per char depending on the contents I think you are right about a constant time compare not being possible.
