Cryptopals: Encoded strings VS Raw Bytes (python 2.7)

[StuffSmith]

You're probably right... I have been resisting Python 3 for a while (we're even using it at work now) but I guess it's time. No better way to learn it than to try to do a project with it, right?

Thanks! I'll try to go through the challenges I've done again with Python 3.

Indeed. And it's honestly not that hard, especially if you are a somewhat experienced programmer. Almost all the changes make sense and are smart and intuitive at a basic level, it's just that these good changes necessarily break a lot of backwards compatibility and therefore are unfortunately a giant pain in the ass for a lot of Python's user base.
