Comment(by atagar):

 Hi aj00200. Sorry about the delay and thanks for the patch! Everything
 looks great, except that the last bit (which swaps the decode() call to
 long_to_bytes()) evidently breaks our integ tests for python 2.

 The trouble seems to be that long_to_bytes() strips off leading zeros
 which causes the comparison to fail...

 {{{
 # digest() value of the descriptor in our integ tests
 >>> digest = "00BB5385C0DF28DC6765AC465D0CC7BC6A41AD33"

 # old version (encoding as hex to make it printable)
 >>> digest.decode('hex').encode('hex')
 '00bb5385c0df28dc6765ac465d0cc7bc6a41ad33'

 # new version
 >>> long_to_bytes(int(digest, 16)).encode('hex')
 'bb5385c0df28dc6765ac465d0cc7bc6a41ad33'
 }}}

 This could be fixed by either encoding digest/local_digest and doing a
 zfill, or by keeping the old version. Was the long_to_bytes() change
 necessary to make this work with python 3 or was it a refactoring
 improvement?

 Cheers! -Damian
