Perl's Crypt::PasswdMD5

[Bart Nessux]

Does Python have anything similar to Perl's Crypt:asswdMD5???

I read about the crypt module... but it only does DES. Any plans to add
md5 or other digests to it in the future?

Try to be lucky with google using this search string : "python md5"

hi!

the pycrypto package at http://www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto.html
has MD5 and a few other digests and other cryptography tools

cheers

That's not comparable to Crypt:asswdMD5

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I forget the algorithm used to determine 'salt', but I'm sure it's
straightforward and well documented.

Assume that we're not Perl programmers.

Support for MD5 passwords is a GNU extension (according to my manpage
for crypt(3). Python directly calls the platform's crypt(), so if your
system's crypt is extended, Python will benefit from it.

Whether this helps the OP, I dunno.

I glanced at the Perl module he mentioned. It looks pretty dull. You
could implement it in Python using the md5 module pretty quickly,
assuming you had some test vectors to test against.
