bcrypt
======
:alt: Latest Version
Good password hashing for your software and your servers
Installation
============
To install bcrypt, simply:
.. code:: bash
$ pip install bcrypt
Note that bcrypt should build very easily on Linux provided you have a C
compiler, headers for Python (if you're not using pypy), and headers for
the libffi libraries available on your system.
For Debian and Ubuntu, the following command will ensure that the required
dependencies are installed:
.. code:: bash
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libffi-dev python-dev
For Fedora and RHEL-derivatives, the following command will ensure that the
required dependencies are installed:
.. code:: bash
$ sudo yum install gcc libffi-devel python-devel
For Alpine, the following command will ensure that the required
dependencies are installed:
.. code:: bash
$ apk add --update musl-dev gcc libffi-dev
Alternatives
============
While bcrypt remains a good choice for password storage depending on your
specific use case you may also want to consider using scrypt (either via
`standard library`_ or `cryptography`_) or argon2id via `argon2_cffi`_.
