Milan Oberkirch added the comment: There is no real API in the current patch and authenticating has no effect (other then preventing you from authenticating again and storing the username). I am wondering how the user should turn AUTH on/off.
Solution 1: add a keyword argument 'enable_AUTH' and require the programmer to override _verify_user_credentials. This function could 1.1 raise NotImplementedError 1.2 deny access by default. Solution 2: add a keyword argument 'authentication_function' which turns AUTH support on when given and provides the function used to verify user credentials. Solution 3: enable AUTH if self has the _verify_user_credentials-function as attribute (and leave it undefined in the base class) I think solution 1 is the most explicit so I'll implement that so we have something to discuss :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21935> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
