If you chance your mind and choose to use a full solution, then I highly recommend passlib [1]. It has an implementation of SHA-512 crypt as indicated by the number 6 in the header of your string. By the way "$6$ds41p/9VMA.BHH0U" is *not* the salt. Just "ds41p/9VMA.BHH0U" is the salt, 6 is a hash identifier.
