password 0.2

Example usage

Create your class:

>>> import password
>>> class User():
...     password = password.Password(method='sha1', hash_encoding='base64')
        # You also probably want to create 'hash' and 'salt' attributes
        # With your chosen persistence mechanism

Set a password on the object:

>>> user = User()
>>> user.password = 'abcdef'

You cannot read the password back:

>>> user.password
<password._HashedPassword object at 0x7fdba1fef990>

but you can see, that hash and salt are set:

>>> user.hash
'L1Fz6aoIdIlZzoxsXPWxJq8zNTQ='
>>> user.salt
'VIboVvtr'

You can also check for equality with a string:

>>> user.password == 'abcdef'
True
>>> user.password == '12345'
False
