python - Decoding a base64 encryption on other device -

-

i using python build in library encode md5 digest using base 64. library using : 

      hashlib import md5

my code encode "email" variable:

     apitoken = md5(email).digest().encode('base64')[:-1]

now problem "apitoken" being sent other device need decode base64 email md5.

what key should send them? salt value?

if requirement send encrypted data should not use one-way hashing algorithm md5 (which weak algorithm, in case). recommend using known symmetric/asymmetric algorithms aes python cryptography toolkit (pycrypto)

the encrypted data can unencrypted @ client end using appropriate client library algorithm. recommend reading book on security such bruce schneier's "applied cryptography" understand how build secure system.

python - Subclassed QStyledItemDelegate ignores Stylesheet -

-
i'm trying subclass qstyleditemdelegate remove focus rectangle in qcombobox . even though i'm calling base implementation of paint function , nothing else, result different. looks if parts of style-sheet influence bounding box of item taken consideration. class pstyleditemdelegate(qstyleditemdelegate): def __init__(self, *args, **kwds): super(pstyleditemdelegate, self).__init__(*args, **kwds) def paint(self, *args, **kwargs): qstyleditemdelegate.paint(*args, **kwargs) what have paint unmodified qstyleditemdelegate ? as suggested tried replacing pyside pyqt4 , works, appears bug. update pyside 1.1.2 1.2.1 result same. unfortunately switch breaks other parts of code, if there no other suggestions i'm going accept answer. edit bug tracked here
