    GenericHandler-derived classes will have (at least) the following
    constructor options, though others may be added by mixins
    and by the class itself:

    :param checksum:
        this should contain the digest portion of a
        parsed hash (mainly provided when the constructor is called
        by :meth:`from_string()`).
        defaults to ``None``.

    :param use_defaults:
        If ``False`` (the default), a :exc:`TypeError` should be thrown
        if any settings required by the handler were not explicitly provided.

        If ``True``, the handler should attempt to provide a default for any
        missing values. This means generate missing salts, fill in default
        cost parameters, etc.

        This is typically only set to ``True`` when the constructor
        is called by :meth:`hash`, allowing user-provided values
        to be handled in a more permissive manner.

    :param relaxed:
        If ``False`` (the default), a :exc:`ValueError` should be thrown
        if any settings are out of bounds or otherwise invalid.

        If ``True``, they should be corrected if possible, and a warning
        issue. If not possible, only then should an error be raised.
        (e.g. under ``relaxed=True``, rounds values will be clamped
        to min/max rounds).

        This is mainly used when parsing the config strings of certain
        hashes, whose specifications implementations to be tolerant
        of incorrect values in salt strings.

    Class Attributes
    ================

    .. attribute:: ident

        [optional]
        If this attribute is filled in, the default :meth:`identify` method will use
        it as a identifying prefix that can be used to recognize instances of this handler's
        hash. Filling this out is recommended for speed.

        This should be a unicode str.

    .. attribute:: _hash_regex

        [optional]
        If this attribute is filled in, the default :meth:`identify` method
        will use it to recognize instances of the hash. If :attr:`ident`
        is specified, this will be ignored.

        This should be a unique regex object.

    .. attribute:: checksum_size

        [optional]
        Specifies the number of characters that should be expected in the checksum string.
        If omitted, no check will be performed.

    .. attribute:: checksum_chars

        [optional]
        A string listing all the characters allowed in the checksum string.
        If omitted, no check will be performed.

        This should be a unicode str.

    .. attribute:: _stub_checksum

        Placeholder checksum that will be used by genconfig()
        in lieu of actually generating a hash for the empty string.
        This should be a string of the same datatype as :attr:`checksum`.

    Instance Attributes
    ===================
    .. attribute:: checksum

        The checksum string provided to the constructor (after passing it
        through :meth:`_norm_checksum`).

    Required Subclass Methods
    =========================
    The following methods must be provided by handler subclass:

    .. automethod:: from_string
    .. automethod:: to_string
    .. automethod:: _calc_checksum

    Default Methods
    ===============
    The following methods have default implementations that should work for
    most cases, though they may be overridden if the hash subclass needs to:

    .. automethod:: _norm_checksum

    .. automethod:: genconfig
    .. automethod:: genhash

class HasSalt(GenericHandler):
    """mixin for validating salts.

    This :class:`GenericHandler` mixin adds a ``salt`` keyword to the class constuctor;
    any value provided is passed through the :meth:`_norm_salt` method,
    which takes care of validating salt length and content,
    as well as generating new salts if one it not provided.

    :param salt:
        optional salt string

    :param salt_size:
        optional size of salt (only used if no salt provided);
        defaults to :attr:`default_salt_size`.

    Class Attributes
    ================
    In order for :meth:`!_norm_salt` to do its job, the following
    attributes should be provided by the handler subclass:

    .. attribute:: min_salt_size

        The minimum number of characters allowed in a salt string.
        An :exc:`ValueError` will be throw if the provided salt is too small.
        Defaults to ``0``.

    .. attribute:: max_salt_size

        The maximum number of characters allowed in a salt string.
        By default an :exc:`ValueError` will be throw if the provided salt is
        too large; but if ``relaxed=True``, it will be clipped and a warning
        issued instead. Defaults to ``None``, for no maximum.

    .. attribute:: default_salt_size

        [required]
        If no salt is provided, this should specify the size of the salt
        that will be generated by :meth:`_generate_salt`. By default
        this will fall back to :attr:`max_salt_size`.

    .. attribute:: salt_chars

        A string containing all the characters which are allowed in the salt
        string. An :exc:`ValueError` will be throw if any other characters
        are encountered. May be set to ``None`` to skip this check (but see
        in :attr:`default_salt_chars`).

    .. attribute:: default_salt_chars

        [required]
        This attribute controls the set of characters use to generate
        *new* salt strings. By default, it mirrors :attr:`salt_chars`.
        If :attr:`!salt_chars` is ``None``, this attribute must be specified
        in order to generate new salts. Aside from that purpose,
        the main use of this attribute is for hashes which wish to generate
        salts from a restricted subset of :attr:`!salt_chars`; such as
        accepting all characters, but only using a-z.

    Instance Attributes
    ===================
    .. attribute:: salt

        This instance attribute will be filled in with the salt provided
        to the constructor (as adapted by :meth:`_norm_salt`)

    PasswordHash mixin which provides generic framework for supporting multiple backends

    Public API
    ----------

    .. attribute:: backends

        This attribute should be a tuple containing the names of the backends
        which are supported. Two common names are ``"os_crypt"`` (if backend
        uses :mod:`crypt`), and ``"builtin"`` (if the backend is a pure-python
        fallback).

    .. automethod:: get_backend
    .. automethod:: set_backend
    .. automethod:: has_backend

    .. warning::

        :meth:`set_backend` is intended to be called during application startup --
        it affects global state, and switching backends is not guaranteed threadsafe.

    Private API (Subclass Hooks)
    ----------------------------
    Subclasses should set the :attr:`!backends` attribute to a tuple of the backends
    they wish to support.  They should also define one method:

    .. classmethod:: _load_backend_{name}(dryrun=False)

        One copy of this method should be defined for each :samp:`name` within :attr:`!backends`.

        It will be called in order to load the backend, and should take care of whatever
        is needed to enable the backend.  This may include importing modules, running tests,
        issuing warnings, etc.

        :param name:
            [Optional] name of backend.

        :param dryrun:
            [Optional] True/False if currently performing a "dry run".

            if True, the method should perform all setup actions *except*
            switching the class over to the new backend.

        :raises passlib.exc.PasslibSecurityError:
            if the backend is available, but cannot be loaded due to a security issue.

        :returns:
            False if backend not available, True if backend loaded.

        .. warning::

            Due to the way passlib's internals are arranged,
            backends should generally store stateful data at the class level
            (not the module level), and be prepared to be called on subclasses
            which may be set to a different backend from their parent.

            (Idempotent module-level data such as lazy imports are fine).

        finish documenting this class's usage

    For hashes which need to select from multiple backends,
    depending on the host environment, this class
    offers a way to specify alternate :meth:`_calc_checksum` methods,
    and will dynamically chose the best one at runtime.

    .. versionchanged:: 1.7

        This class now derives from :class:`BackendMixin`, which abstracts
        out a more generic framework for supporting multiple backends.
        The public api (:meth:`!get_backend`, :meth:`!has_backend`, :meth:`!set_backend`)
        is roughly the same.

    Private API (Subclass Hooks)
    ----------------------------
    As of version 1.7, classes should implement :meth:`!_load_backend_{name}`, per
    :class:`BackendMixin`.  This hook should invoke :meth:`!_set_calc_checksum_backcend`
    to install it's backend method.

    .. deprecated:: 1.7

        The following api is deprecated, and will be removed in Passlib 2.0:

    .. attribute:: _has_backend_{name}

        private class attribute checked by :meth:`has_backend` to see if a
        specific backend is available, it should be either ``True``
        or ``False``. One of these should be provided by
        the subclass for each backend listed in :attr:`backends`.

    .. classmethod:: _calc_checksum_{name}

        private class method that should implement :meth:`_calc_checksum`
        for a given backend. it will only be called if the backend has
        been selected by :meth:`set_backend`. One of these should be provided
        by the subclass for each backend listed in :attr:`backends`.
