Hi!

I'm e-mailing this on behalf of PyCA. We're a group of Python hackers
trying to improve the state of cryptographic libraries in Python, and
trying to provide APIs that people can't get wrong. (The current state is
that some of the libraries aren't great, and the APIs are way too low
level.)

I was wondering if the canonical way to use scrypt as a KDF, particularly
for purposes of password storage) is documented anywhere. The big
implementation right now for Python suggests writing one using enc/dec
functions (so the file encryption thing that is included in the tarball as
a demo), but that seems kind of orthogonal to the actual key derivation
part :)

cheers and thanks in advance
