passlib ValueError("hash could not be identified")

See original GitHub issue

I’m using passwords generated by ppc-gen-password something like $6$rounds=662480$eD9ewKeo67GHU8KF$bwPiwMy90zjvC5AuN27lBLP5Q3uKZOxX.wswfuVOMG0rntdLqM082XbtKh6UnG.bexmqmftJiGnoZGYy2opEf/ which is a hash for changeme

And I’m getting this error:

    raise ValueError("hash could not be identified")

Any additional configuration I need to specify in my .ini file?

sorry, never mind, I’ve just discovered that because I run the prod.ini through envsubst to replace environment variables, it replaces “$rounds” with empty string, and it really confuses passlib. Thanks for the quick response
