I was still getting below error (FreeBSD)

  File "webhooks.py", line 87, in index
    mac = hmac.new(str(secret), msg=request.data, digestmod=sha1)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/hmac.py", line 153, in new
    return HMAC(key, msg, digestmod)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/hmac.py", line 49, in __init__
    raise TypeError("key: expected bytes or bytearray, but got %r" % type(key).__name__)
TypeError: key: expected bytes or bytearray, but got 'str'

Go it to work with

mac = hmac.new(secret.encode('utf-8'), msg=request.data, digestmod=sha1)
