Description : Identification and authentication framework for Python WSGI applications
repoze.who is an identification and authentication framework for
arbitrary Python WSGI applications; it acts as WSGI middleware.
.
repoze.who is inspired by Zope 2's Pluggable Authentication Service
(PAS), but is not dependent on Zope in any way; it is useful for
any WSGI application.
.
It provides no facility for authorization (ensuring whether a user
can or cannot perform the operation implied by the request). This
is considered to be the domain of the WSGI application.
[ mini-boilerplate follows, for the sake of context in the bug log ]
I'm packaging this as a dependency for python-turbogears2 (TG2 for
short), which is in unstable but lacks several of its dependencies,
and hence is currently useless.
Several libraries are missing to have a working TG2, this ITP is just
one of those needed. I'm *looking for help* in maintaining the related
packages, under the umbrella of the Python Modules team. Packaging
will happen in the related SVN repository.
