Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de> added the comment:

I'm against adding additional methods to the crypt module.

- libcrypt / libxcrypt are unreliable providers. The library is only available 
on Unix-like platforms, not on Windows. Available algorithms are not 
consistent, e.g. some platforms only provide old, bad implementations. Others 
only support a limited subset or disable some algorithms in their crypto 
policies.
- We still plan to deprecate and remove the crypt module because it's not 
reliable.

I suggest that you rather create a PyPI package with yescrypt implementation 
that does not rely on libcrypt.
