Use secure hash algorithm in WebConfiguration.sign_text Fix: PendingDeprecationWarning: HMAC() without an explicit digestmod argument is deprecated. The default hash algorithm used by hmac.new is md5. As of today, md5 is so weak that it's the equivalent of plaintext and can't be considered to be secured at all. Therefor, we switch to a secure hash algorithm. The rational for choosing sha3_512 is: * the recommended algorithm is at least sha_256 * the stronger, the more secured and sha3_512 is the stronger available * thinking about the future this should keep this part of the code safe long enough before people think about checking it again You can read more about choosing a secure hash algorithm in the NIST recommendations https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/Hash-Functions/NIST-Policy-on-Hash-Functions This code modification should normally be transparent since check_text_sign is exactly this code 'self.sign_text(text) == signature' and that sign_text is only used in combination with it. The only impact is that the hash is going to move from 32 char to 128 which might make html page a bit bigger and that sha3_512 is slow to compute (which is a good thing for security)

[devtools/testlib] avoid hidding AttributeError in create_user() commit() might raise a AttributeError too. Use getattr(req, 'cnx', req) instead, which is a form already used to get the real cnx in some code: cubicweb/rset.py:577: cnx = getattr(self.req, 'cnx', self.req) cubicweb/schema.py:353: with getattr(_cw, 'cnx', _cw).security_enabled(read=False): We could use if hasattr(req, 'commit') here too but it lead to 3 additionals lines. Maybe we should have commit() and rollback() on cubicweb.web.request.ConnectionCubicWebRequestBase too ?

[README] add testing instructions

Add pytest-subtests to dev requirements This pytest plugin adds support for unittest's TestCase.subTest (for Python >= 3.4). Since we we now only support python3 and since we use a fair amount of these, let's benefit of better reporting by using this plugin.

[test] use unittest.mock instead of mock library Now that we use Python 3 only, this is possible.

Drop python2 support This mostly consists in removing the dependency on "six" and updating the code to use only Python3 idioms. Notice that we previously used TemporaryDirectory from cubicweb.devtools.testlib for compatibility with Python2. We now directly import it from tempfile.

[pyramid/security] use cryptographically secure random generator Based on django source code in case SystemRandom is not available. According to python documentation: https://docs.python.org/2/library/random.html > Warning > The pseudo-random generators of this module should not be used for security > purposes. Use os.urandom() or SystemRandom if you require a cryptographically > secure pseudo-random number generator.
