Hi guys, In the light of recent Gawker breakout, lots of communities
are discussing what's the best practice for storing passwords. Like
this on on HN suggested

But the py-bcrypt library is written with C, and customized gensalt()
function. It it not available on Google App Engine. But Google App
Engine actually supports PyCrypto.
I am not an security expert, anyone can help rewrite py-bcrypt using PyCrypto?
Thanks and regards,
