I'd just stick it in hmac myself but getpass was also a good suggestion. Cross reference to it from the docs of all three as the real goal of adding pbkdf2 is to advertise it to users so that they might use it rather than something more naive.

hashlib itself should be kept pure as is for standard low level hash algorithms. It can't have a dependency on anything else.

I don't really understand this requirement. Can you elaborate?

Antoine.
