Comment (by mtredinnick):
I don't think it's worth adding the software fallbacks. Both of the
modules you point to admit to having problems in their code (and the one
in the so-called public domain makes me nervous about the license -- it's
not actually a good idea to release stuff into the public domain because
it doesn't provide any legal protections at all).
Crypt is a Unix-based feature. So it's not really going to be useful on
Windows setups and it will mean we're maintaining even more encryption
methods: real crypt, Python crypt, etc... Fitting in with the existing
server makes some sense, since password strings can be shared. Trying to
port it to platforms where it isn't a used format, not so much.
