Cracklib seems a useful tool, but IMO it's too specific for inclusion in the standard library. ok, this is not a problem

If you're thinking about a copyright assignment to the PSF, I'm not sure what that would buy you (or the PSF). You can just make it available from SourceForge and put an open source license on it. Not the Python license, please -- pick the BSD or MIT license or something else that's sweet, simple and GPL-compatible without being viral (i.e. don't use the GPL). Then everyone can enjoy your code. it is already available on savannah, licensed under GPL. what's wrong with GPL? the story about not being usable with non-GPL software?

thanks for you response, BDFL :)

cheers domenico
