spwd

This module provides access to the Unix shadow password database. It is available on various Unix versions.

Shadow password database entries are reported as 9-tuples of type struct_spwd, containing the following items from the password database (see `<shadow.h>’): sp_namp, sp_pwdp, sp_lstchg, sp_min, sp_max, sp_warn, sp_inact, sp_expire, sp_flag. The sp_namp and sp_pwdp are strings, the rest are integers. An exception is raised if the entry asked for cannot be found. You have to be root to be able to use this module.
