[issue14532] multiprocessing module performs a time-dependent hmac comparison

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

It would also be reasonable to add a comment to the code mentioning why this particular (security) comparison is *not* vulnerable to a timing attack, which would serve the education purpose if someone does look at the code.
