According to this, Drupal 7

Here's an update to David's excellent answer for python 3, since hashlib no longer accepts strings. Also, this includes support for the odd "U$S$*" hashes, which apparently are from an update and I found a bunch of them in my drupal database.

And as a bonus, here's the code that I used to import my xml file of user data in. (I just created the xml file via an sql export after doing a query on the users table.)

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

tree = ET.parse('/PATH/TO/Users.xml')
root = tree.getroot()

for row in root:
    user_dict = {}
    for field in row:
        user_dict[field.attrib['name']] = field.text
    user = User.objects.create_user(user_dict['name'], user_dict['mail'])
    if user_dict['pass'][0] == '$':
        user_dict['pass'] = user_dict['pass'][1:]
    user.password = user_dict['pass']
    user.save()
