Old MySQL Password Hash
A python implementation of the old MySQL PASSWORD() function. This is insecure. There is a reason MySQL changed this in version 4.1. Use it only if you have to!

Use crypt instead of sha1 as password hash algorithm
This snippet uses signals to replace the `contrib.auth.models.User.set_password()` function with one that uses *crypt* instead of *sha1* to hash the password. *Crypt* is of course cryptographically inferior to *sha1*, but this may be useful for interoperability with legacy systems e.g. when sharing a user authentication database with unix, a MTA etc. For some reason the `User` class doesn't emit a `class_prepared` signal, which would otherwise be a better choice here. That's why I had to resort to patching each `User` instance separately. A clean way to deploy this snippet is to place it in the `models.py` of an otherwise empty app, and add the app in `settings.INSTALLED_APPS`. The order of `INSTALLED_APPS` doesn't matter since we're patching instances, not classes.
