I think this is a good decision -- crypto is not a standard library thing and including it in the first place was a mistake. I assume someone will take the liberty of mirroring the crypt library onto pypi and everyone can just install that if they're worried about their code breaking. In my experience upgrading python versions always has some friction so I don't think that's a big ask.
- LtWorf 3y ago1. It is LITERALLY in the libc. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/crypt.3.html https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/crypt.3.html 2. No encryption in general, means also no http module, which means no REST calls, which means people would just use another language.
- majewsky 3y ago> It is LITERALLY in the libc. Technically yes, in the sense that libc also includes a libcrypt.so, but the one in glibc is hot garbage, so most distros disable the libcrypt part of glibc these days and ship libxcrypt instead.
