* Package name : legacycrypt Version : 0.0.3 Upstream Contact: Christian Heimes <christ...@python.org> * URL : https://github.com/tiran/legacycrypt * License : PSF Programming Lang: Python Description : The legacycrypt module is a standalone version of https://docs.python.org/3/library/crypt.html (crypt was removed in Python 3.13). This module implements an interface to the crypt(3) routine, which is a one-way hash function based upon a modified DES algorithm; see the Unix man page for further details. Possible uses include storing hashed passwords so you can check passwords without storing the actual password, or attempting to crack Unix passwords with a dictionary. Per discussion at the DebConf24 Python BOFs, I intend to package this as a temporary shim to ease 3.13 transition. I intend to maintain this package as part of the Debian Python Team. I will require a sponsor for uploads.
