There are pure Python implementations of the MD5- and DES-based crypt
algorithms available from, respectively:

  http://www.sabren.net/code/python/crypt/    (by michal j wallace)
  http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/sw/  (by me)

The former should be quite a bit more secure.  It may also be faster
since it uses the md5 module internally, but I've never tested them.
