publish new lyrics

[JohnStyleZ]

I tried to convert the rust file into python and integrate this into my Flask application. but i am keep getting {"message":"The provided publish token is incorrect","name":"IncorrectPublishTokenError","statusCode":400}.

can you take a look if i done something wrong?

def verify_nonce(result, target):
if len(result) != len(target):
return False

for i in range(len(result)):
    if result[i] > target[i]:
        return False
    elif result[i] < target[i]:
        break

return True

def solve_challenge(prefix, target_hex):
nonce = 0
target = bytes.fromhex(target_hex)

while True:
    token = f"{prefix}:{nonce}".encode()
    hash_result = hashlib.sha256(token).digest()

    if verify_nonce(hash_result, target):
        break
    
    nonce += 1

return nonce



here is an example

{'prefix': '4FriQWe2ZRUVTrd8HoV6ZxZ4QdkDZHdI', 'target': '000000FF00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000'}

1. python bad die
2. can you please fix your issue description? The codeblocks aren't properly formatted, also, please add the language name after the three ticks (e.g. py/python, rs/rust, cpp/c++)
3. I suck at cryptography but I don't care I'm going to try and fix it anyway lol

@JohnStyleZ Codeium fixed it ™️
I'll upload the translation of the server token validator & generator to python soon in a second.

import hashlib
import requests
# was just testing, didn't want to put strain on the official lrclib server,
# so I just got codeium to rewrite it in python.

    input_str = prefix + str(nonce)
    hashed_bytes = hashlib.sha256(input_str.encode()).digest()

    if len(target_bytes) != len(hashed_bytes):
        return False

    for hashed_byte, target_byte in zip(hashed_bytes, target_bytes):
        if hashed_byte > target_byte:
            return False
        if hashed_byte < target_byte:
            break

    return True

def solve_challenge(prefix, target_hex):
    """

# do something with the token

@JohnStyleZ uploaded it to Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/RealPacket/lrclib-challenge-solver-python/ (this account really is only for contributing to GitHub things, don't trust them with my main repos anymore after they suspended me out of nowhere, and I don't know why because I forgot to update my main email on GitHub to a different one because it was using skiff, and I was suspended way after August 9, 2024, so I can't view the skiff emails, I didn't have forwarding on either)
