Thanks, Sunqiang, I've pushed the fix.

Keep me posted of any more problems you find using it with Python 3.2. I
probably won't upgrade until April, with the next Ubuntu release.

Technical details: The value coming from a subprocess.Popen().communicate()
was a byte string. This was being written to a config file, but the
rewritten configparser in Python 3.2 specifically checks that the option to
be set is a (unicode) str. I've actually specified that it should be decoded
as ascii: the hash digest should never include any non-ascii characters, and
we'll find out quickly if it's doing anything unexpected.
