[Jython-dev] crypt support

[Jason R B. <jas...@gm...>]

Hi All

I note that crypt module support doesn't seem to be available in Jython
-- crypt support is quite useful when (like myself) you're hacking stuff
together for a prototype.

The Jetty webserver (jetty.mortbay.org) has a java implementation of
unix crypt, which is 'sympathetically' licensed (apache), so I've added
it to my own jython distribution with a rather miniscule (3 line)
jython-code wrapper.   So far seems to be working well, so perhaps
someone else will find it useful...?

The java source (I've repackaged this as "misc", because if you are
already running jython within jetty, you get a security violation if it
has the "org.mortbay.util" package) and jython wrapper code are attached
if anyone is interested.

Regards
Jason
