> For 3.4, I hope to see a discussion open up regarding the idea of something like a "securitytools" module that aims to provide some basic primitives for operations where Python's standard assumptions (such as flexibility and short circuiting behaviour) are a bad fit for security reasons. That would include exposing a C level full_compare option, as well as the core pbkdf2 algorithm.
Strong +1 on that one. We could even consider adding bcrypt and scrypt as C isn't really an issue for us.
Ideally we'd add a module with docs which both promote and leverage secure behavior. Basically how to realize http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2009-06-11-cryptographic-right-answers.html in Python.
