Python Challenge level 8: “working hard?”

Level 8 is easy.

Hint 1: Where is the missing link?
Hint 2: un and pn are provided
Fact 1: the bee links to a page in a protected directory
Fact 2: BZh91AY seems to be a bzip2 header (says Google)

import bz2
un= 'BZh91AY&SYAx....' #complete the string here
pw= 'BZh91AY&SYx9....' #likewise
print "user:",bz2.decompress(un)
print "pass:",bz2.decompress(pw)

Which gives:

user: huge
pass: file

And on to Level 9.

Note that the values of un and pn aren’t complete since they had HEX characters that do not seem to render correctly in the plugin I use for code in WordPress. Have it in mind if you are just copying and pasting your way through the Python Challenge. I advise strongly against that though. The beauty is in the journey itself ;-) If you don’t think highly of the game by now, just wait until we get to the levels for grown-ups.
