from django.contrib.auth.hashers import BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher

hasher = BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher()
hasher.encode('secret', hasher.salt())

results in

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "issue.py", line 6, in <module>
    hasher.encode('secret', hasher.salt())
  File "/mnt/crypt/drahflow/.virtualenvs/NDA/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/hashers.py", line 417, in encode
    return "%s$%s" % (self.algorithm, data.decode('ascii'))

The bug was introduced in: ​https://github.com/django/django/commit/16c5a334ff3ad9d8b3cd1314562c7af20a2a7c7d
Other hashers might be affected, I didn't check.
