Support for MD5 passwords is a GNU extension (according to my manpage
for crypt(3).  Python directly calls the platform's crypt(), so if your
system's crypt is extended, Python will benefit from it.

Whether this helps the OP, I dunno.

I glanced at the Perl module he mentioned.  It looks pretty dull.  You
could implement it in Python using the md5 module pretty quickly,
assuming you had some test vectors to test against.
