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 /etc/shadow, to providing full-strength password hashing for multi-user application.

The latest documentation can be found online at http://packages.python.org/passlib.
