class MissingBackendError(RuntimeError):
    """Error raised if multi-backend handler has no available backends;
    or if specifically requested backend is not available.

    :exc:`!MissingBackendError` derives
    from :exc:`RuntimeError`, since it usually indicates
    lack of an external library or OS feature.
    This is primarily raised by handlers which depend on
    external libraries (which is currently just
    :class:`~passlib.hash.bcrypt`).
    """

class PasswordSizeError(ValueError):
    """Error raised if a password exceeds the maximum size allowed
    by Passlib (4096 characters).

    Many password hash algorithms take proportionately larger amounts of time and/or
    memory depending on the size of the password provided. This could present
    a potential denial of service (DOS) situation if a maliciously large
    password is provided to an application. Because of this, Passlib enforces
    a maximum size limit, but one which should be *much* larger
    than any legitimate password. :exc:`!PasswordSizeError` derives
    from :exc:`!ValueError`.

    .. note::
        Applications wishing to use a different limit should set the
        ``PASSLIB_MAX_PASSWORD_SIZE`` environmental variable before
        Passlib is loaded. The value can be any large positive integer.

    of a :class:`~passlib.context.CryptContext` instance.

    This occurs primarily in one of two cases:

    * The CryptContext contains rounds limits which exceed the hard limits
      imposed by the underlying algorithm.
    * An explicit rounds value was provided which exceeds the limits
      imposed by the CryptContext.

    In both of these cases, the code will perform correctly & securely;
    but the warning is issued as a sign the configuration may need updating.

    or hash string passed to a passlib hash class.

    This occurs primarily in one of two cases:

    * A rounds value or other setting was explicitly provided which
      exceeded the handler's limits (and has been clamped
      by the :ref:`relaxed<relaxed-keyword>` flag).

    * A malformed hash string was encountered which (while parsable)
      should be re-encoded.

    The fact that it's a warning instead of an error means Passlib
    was able to correct for the issue, but that it's anonmalous enough
    that the developers would love to hear under what conditions it occurred.
