Is there a module available in the standard library, for Python 2.4
running on Windows, like "crypt" for Python 2.4 running on *nix
machines?
I need to store database passwords in a Python 2.4 script, but
obviously don't want them in clear text.
I'm looking for a reasonable level of security. What are some of my
options?
Also wondering if, for PythonWin, there is a module that will display
asterisks rather than echo entered passwords in clear text. I see I
have access to the getpass module, but I can't get it to work--it
still echos typed-in passwords to the screen as clear text.

I can't try right now, but I would expect that the Cygwin python
distribution has a crypt implementation.
If you want a crypt implementation for the python.org distribution,
the easiest (but perhaps not fastest) solution would be to use
fcrypt.

Just wondering, does anyone know if the crypt() function in PHP will always
return a 34 character string if not salted? I want to encrypt my user's
passwords into a database and I want to make sure I give the right length. I
have tried some tests on both windows platform and FreeBSD and it seems to
be consistent.

Hi everybody.
I was wandering is there a method or a function already implemented in
python that supports secure deletion of data?
I'm interested in something which is able to securely wipe data (from
single file to bunch of MB's), and that should run both on Linux and
Windows.
I tried on google, but I hadn't found anything useful to me.

I see rotor was removed for 2.4 and the docs say use an AES module
provided separately... Is there a standard module that works alike or
an AES module that works alike but with better encryption?

I know that this topic has the potential for blowing up in my face,
but I can't help asking. I've been using Python since 1.5.1, so I'm
not what you'd call a "n00b". I dutifully evangelize on the goodness
of Python whenever I talk with fellow developers, but I always hit a
snag when it comes to discussing the finer points of the execution
model (specifically, exceptions).
Without fail, when I start talking with some of the "old-timers"...

Hi, we are getting a lot of spam through our PHP Feedback form, and have set
up a new field 'prove you're human', asking them to do some simple maths.
What is the command for the PHP script itself, to say "this field must be
equal to 9 or return the error page"?
Thanks!

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
