I have a similar need for Django 1.9 whose test suite currently fails due
to this...

Except that the package currently tracks py-bcrypt:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/py-bcrypt

And the version that seem to be most popular is this one which is
backwards compatible with py-bcrypt:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bcrypt

I would suggest to just switch to bcrypt. The other ones seems
unmaintained and the google code hosting is now read only without
any clear place for followup.

I'm ccing the upstream author of py-bcrypt to have his input. Damien,
maybe you should officially deprecate py-bcrypt in favor of bcrypt?

And update http://www.mindrot.org/projects/py-bcrypt/ and pypi accordingly.
(I don't think that you can update google code at this point)

Daniel, the current maintainer seems MIA, are you willing to prepare the
update so that I can sponsor it? :-)

Simon, in case you read this, shall we drop you from the uploaders or are
you willing to handle this update?

Cheers,
