Functions for creating and restoring url-safe signed JSON objects.
The format used looks like this:
>>> signing.dumps("hello")
'ImhlbGxvIg:1QaUZC:YIye-ze3TTx7gtSv422nZA4sgmk'
There are two components here, separated by a ':'. The first component is a
URLsafe base64 encoded JSON of the object passed to dumps(). The second
component is a base64 encoded hmac/SHA1 hash of "$first_component:$secret"
signing.loads(s) checks the signature and returns the deserialized object.
If the signature fails, a BadSignature exception is raised.
>>> signing.loads("ImhlbGxvIg:1QaUZC:YIye-ze3TTx7gtSv422nZA4sgmk")
'hello'
>>> signing.loads("ImhlbGxvIg:1QaUZC:YIye-ze3TTx7gtSv422nZA4sgmk-modified")
...
BadSignature: Signature failed: ImhlbGxvIg:1QaUZC:YIye-ze3TTx7gtSv422nZA4sgmk-modified
You can optionally compress the JSON prior to base64 encoding it to save
space, using the compress=True argument. This checks if compression actually
helps and only applies compression if the result is a shorter string:
>>> signing.dumps(list(range(1, 20)), compress=True)
'.eJwFwcERACAIwLCF-rCiILN47r-GyZVJsNgkxaFxoDgxcOHGxMKD_T7vhAml:1QaUaL:BA0thEZrp4FQVXIXuOvYJtLJSrQ'
The fact that the string is compressed is signalled by the prefixed '.' at the
start of the base64 JSON.
There are 65 url-safe characters: the 64 used by url-safe base64 and the ':'.
These functions make use of all of them.

in the signature, to protect against zip bombs.

only valid for a given namespace. Leaving this at the default
