While pipes and crypt have direct replacement (subprocess and for example the pypi module bcrypt), there's a few comments here:
BEWARE: crypt is on the radar of Keystone team and one of the biggest issues with it is that one of the replacement candidates is passlib which is unmaintained and that itself depends on crypt. bcrypt is not a replacement for crypt, but rather an alternative hashing algorithm. We went way of getting rid of passlib in Keystone and got prepared to drop crypt support (deprecated at Pike) as such once we start testing for 3.13.
In the mean time, let's tackle the above.
