-Passlib is a password hashing library for Python 2 & 3,
-which provides cross-platform implementations of over 20
-password hashing algorithms, as well as a framework for
-managing existing password hashes. It's designed to be useful
-for a wide range of tasks; from verifying a hash found in %{_sysconfdir}/shadow,
-to providing full-strength password hashing for multi-user applications.
