Yes, that works. Thank you!

By the way: since this egg is an interface to "the Unix crypt()
function," does that mean it does not work on Windows? Also, I have
seen that some seemingly-knowledgeable people believe that bcrypt is
one of the better hashing methods. But this crypt is not related to
bcrypt, is it?
