.. -*- restructuredtext -*- ========================== The Passlib Python Library ========================== Welcome ======= Passlib is a password hashing library for Python 2 & 3, which provides cross-platform implementations of over 30 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>`_. Requirements ============ * Python 2.5 - 2.7 or Python 3.x * py-bcrypt or bcryptor (optional; required only if bcrypt support is needed) * M2Crypto (optional; accelerates PBKDF2-based hashes) Installation ============ To install from source using ``setup.py``:: python setup.py install For more detailed installation & testing instructions, see "docs/install.rst" Online Resources ================ * Homepage - http://passlib.googlecode.com * Docs - http://packages.python.org/passlib * Discussion - http://groups.google.com/group/passlib-users * PyPI - http://pypi.python.org/pypi/passlib * Downloads - http://code.google.com/p/passlib/downloads * Source - http://code.google.com/p/passlib/source
