The PBKDF2 documentation at http://www.dlitz.net/software/python-pbkdf2/ is
a little sparse, so I'm hoping someone on the list can answer a few
questions for me.
1. How can I use hashlib.ripemd160 as the hash function with PBKDF2()
2. What is the difference between the digestmodule parameter and the
macmodule parameter?
I thought deriving a key using PBKDF2 required a password, salt, iteration
count, and hash function.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this topic.
