fail2ban is good for this as well

That is an issue. But a more significant issue is Django's vulnerability to timing attacks.

I'm not aware of any timing attacks against Django.

If there are attacks that we should be aware of please be a good open source citizen and report them to `security@djangoproject.com`. We take security reports very seriously, and want very much to fix any issues that're disclosed!

[edit to clarify: I'm one of the lead developers of Django, and one of the members of the security team that gets emails sent to the `security@` alias.]

Doesn't using bcrypt help with that, or do you mean something else?
