  Description     : Modern password hashing for Python

From the README:
For years, the de-facto standard to hash passwords was passlib. Unfortunately,
it has not been very active recently and its maintenance status is under
question. Starting Python 3.13, passlib won't work anymore. That's why I
decided to start pwdlib, a password hash helper for the modern Python era.
However, it's not designed to be a complete replacement for passlib, which
supports numerous hashing algorithms and features.

The original passlib project
(https://foss.heptapod.net/python-libs/passlib)
is currently unmaintained s.

pwdlib seems to be a vital and maintained project.
Some rdepends of passlib have already switched pwdlib. Tryton will use
it starting from version 7.6.
