Library Overview
================
-BPS started life in 2003 as an in-house collection of small functions
-and tools which were frequently needed by the programmers at
-`Assurance Technologies <http://www.assurancetechnologies.com>`_.
-Over the years, it has accumlated a more small functions,
-but it has also acquired some modules which provide major
-new features that go above and beyond simple utility functions.
-Since we have benefited greatly from open source software,
-this library was released publically in 2009, in order
-to fill a few niches for which there is a need (password hashing,
-desktop interaction), as well as to simply give something
-back to the community.
+Passlib is a collection of routines for managing password hashes
+as found in unix /etc/shadow files, as returned by stdlib `crypt()`,
+as stored in mysql and postgres, and various other contexts.
