bind-9.11.0-P1.tar.gz/bind-9.11.0-P1/configure contains code:

python="python python3 python3.5 python3.4 python3.3 python3.2 python3.1
python3.0 python2 python2.7 python2.6 python2.5 python2.4"
...
for p in $python ....


It seems that configure supports python versions back to python 2.4.
That should be changed if the actual python code requires something more
modern.

hmac.update() was changed in Python 3.4 to allow the arg to be any type
supported by hashlib. It seems that prior to that, the arg was required
to be a string.
