Hi Jeremy.
From the exception, it sounds like you don't have the crypt module.
What version of Python are you running and how did you install it?
If you can look for some missing crypt model, you may be able to fix
this quickly and log in again. If not, I'll work up a small set of
instructions
OK, that makes sense. Good call on the backup the DB approach.
It looks like maybe Windows implementations of Python don't use crypt
- it's POSIX only? When I just fire up my standard interpreter and try
'import crypt', I get ImportError: No module named crypt.
Having fun replying to myself here...

Availability: UNIX.
The nis module gives a thin wrapper around the NIS library, useful for
central administration of several hosts.
Because NIS exists

We probably should just have the imports for nis and crypt reside in the
classes that use them, and then just catch the ImportError and do the right
thing if it doesn't exist.
