Possibility of SHA512 for Passwords

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
webapp2 on Google App Engine SDK version 1.6.6

In webapp2_extras/appengine/auth/models.py next code doesn't allow me to create 
passwords with SHA 512

if 'password_raw' in user_values:
            user_values['password'] = security.generate_password_hash(
                user_values.pop('password_raw'), length=12)

You could override the webapp2_extras.appengine.auth.models.User.create_user() 
method so that you can directly control the calls the 
webapp2_extras.security.generate_password_hash() method. That would allow you 
to use any hashlib hashing method you feel is appropriate.
