Based on patch by Daan Bakker.

The function provides PKCS#5 password-based key derivation function 2. It
uses HMAC as pseudorandom function.
The string *name* is the desired name of the hash digest algorithm for
The string *hash_name* is the desired name of the hash digest algorithm for
HMAC, e.g. 'sha1' or 'sha256'. *password* and *salt* are interpreted as
buffers of bytes. Applications and libraries should limit *password* to
a sensible value (e.g. 1024). *salt* should be about 16 or more bytes from
a sensible length (e.g. 1024). *salt* should be about 16 or more bytes from
a proper source, e.g. :func:`os.urandom`.
The number of *rounds* should be chosen based on the hash algorithm and
computing power. As of 2013, at least 100,000 rounds of SHA-256 is suggested.
The number of *iterations* should be chosen based on the hash algorithm and
computing power. As of 2013, at least 100,000 iterations of SHA-256 are
suggested.
*dklen* is the length of the derived key. If *dklen* is ``None`` then the
digest size of the hash algorithm *name* is used, e.g. 64 for SHA-512.
