spwd
— The shadow password database¶
Застаріло починаючи з версії 3.11: The spwd
module is deprecated
(see PEP 594 for details and alternatives).
This module provides access to the Unix shadow password database. It is available on various Unix versions.
You must have enough privileges to access the shadow password database (this usually means you have to be root).
Shadow password database entries are reported as a tuple-like object, whose
attributes correspond to the members of the spwd
structure (Attribute field
below, see <shadow.h>
):
