Would this work?
sudo("echo {password} | passwd --stdin
{user}".format(password=password,user=username))
As for being able to specify from the command line, just make sure the task
you're using has those parameters. Something like what I used to test the above
command.
@task
def change_password(user, password):
sudo("echo {0} | passwd --stdin {1}".format(password, user))
Hope that helps. The issue there, of course, is that the password isn't
pre-hashed before going across the network.
