PassLib 1.6

PassLib provides cross-platform implementations of over 20 password hashing algorithms.

Can be used for:
- Quick-start password hashing for new python applications.
- Constructing a configurable hashing policy to match the needs of any python application.
- Reading & writing Apache htpasswd / htdigest files.
- Creating & verifying hashes used by MySQL, PostgreSQL, OpenLDAP, and other applications.
- Creating & verifying hashes found in Unix “shadow” files.

PassLib can be used with Python 2 and above. The library is also OS independent.
