import hashlib
import base64

iterations = 45454
salt = base64.b64decode("6VuJKkHVTdDelbNMPBxzw7INW2NkYlR/LoW40L7kVAI=".encode())
#SALTED-SHA512-PBKDF2

password = "password".encode()

value = hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac("sha512", password, salt, iterations, dklen=128)
print(base64.b64encode(value))

Running Result:

Why use Salt - to avoid other body see that you use the same password with them.
