So the original question remains, is it possible with bcrypt?

I don't know, but Oliver Hunt suggested just validating the password on the next login and upgrading it on the fly, which, to be honest, is what I'd probably do.

  import bcrypt
  hashed = bcrypt.hashpw(password, bcrypt.gensalt(log_rounds=13))

Increasing log_rounds by one increases the work factor exponentially (2 * * log_rounds).
