[Python-ideas] Adding salt and Modular Crypt Format to crypt library.

Hi Sean



1) Minor API note: I'd expect a dict of hashes to their respective
crypt functions
2) Is there any leverage for possibly including stronger KDFs, such as
scrypt or possibly bcrypt into Python? People have created nice C
bindings for both, and licenses permit it. That would make the crypt
module good for storing passwords too, as well as being good for
comparing them to some particular format.


cheers
