Python htpasswd

Python library for managing user authentication. See htpasswd for notes.

NOTE:

Most systems that use htpasswd use the C crypt library to compare password hashes. Crypt's algorithms are not universal. If you need to generate a crypt hash for a different OS, try python passlib .

Usage

import htpasswd

with htpasswd.Basic('/path/htpasswd', mode='bcrypt') as userdb:
    userdb.add('will', 'password')

    if 'will' in userdb:
        # check

    # validate password
    hashpw = userdb.initial_users['will']
    is_valid = bcrypt.checkpw(password, hashpw)
