Be aware that the beginning of the salt string determines the type of hash you're using, and it looks to me like that's the old-style MD5-based hash. It's far from 'broken', but it has a few issues. Better would be to move to the SHA512-based $6$ if your platform supports it. Geremy Condra -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
