I am interested in using Google Accounts for authentication with the rest of the django auth package to handle permission, additional user data and the decorators to restrict access to views. Do you have any hints how to do this? Basically I am thinking to authenticate a user by simply checking if the email property from users.get_current_user() matches with the username/email field of any objects in the User Table I setup. The request.user attribute seems to be required for the permission decorators to work, so I presume I would need to find some way to have request.user retrieve the User object based on users.get_current_user(). Any ideas would be appreciated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
