At the last PyCon Guido said in his plenary, "You can ask me any question except, 'What does Python have that Lisp didn't already do better?'" Apparently he's been asked that too many times, and it led him to realize that Python and Lisp are very similar in spite of their different syntax. >> As for modularity, being fully RESTful components that's not >> much of an issue.

Thanks, I didn't know about these. I would caution against depending solely on AuthKit. AuthKit has gotten some criticism for being monolithic. I would at least look at Repoze.who/what and see if you can build something that's compatible with both approaches. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
