py3k-bcrypt

[extantpedant]

The dependency on py3k-bcrypt version 0.3 makes this hard to use on Windows, since it has a build step. Psycopg2 has a build step as well, but there are Anaconda/Miniconda packages for it. Conda also has pre-built versions of the Python 'bcrypt' package as follows, but not py3k-bcrypt.

py3k-bcrypt seems to be defunct. The github page linked to on pypi is 404.

The main difference that I can see with the 'brcypt' package, is that its hashpw function won't use a str, it needs bytes. I spent some time trying to decode('utf8') the strings, but it still fails with messages like 'invalid salt'. Any ideas on how we could make this happen?
