Check out this FAQ:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.007.htp
It has a script to dump out the users email addresses and passwords to a
file that is usable via apache for authentication. It does exactly what
you need.
But don't let that stop you from writing a Python program for managing
the passwords stored in the database. I'm toying with that right now
myself (as are some others based on very recent posting!)
Good Luck - Jon Carnes
