Upgrade py-bcrypt to version 0.3 or higher.

Overview

py-bcrypt is a bcrypt password hashing and key derivation.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass. It does not properly handle concurrent memory access, which allows attackers to bypass authentication via multiple authentication requests, which trigger the password hash to be overwritten.
