Sorry to ask, but are you being cute here? As I wrote, what I'm looking for is something in the spirit of Google API keys. Therefore, if you understand Google's one key per customer rule, then you understand what I want. I realize that with enough determination, any scheme for limiting keys to one per customer can be circumvented, but as long as the enough determination threshold is high enough the requirement is met for practical purposes.

Looking for registration package
I'm looking for a Python-based, small, self-contained package to hand out API keys, in the same spirit as Google API keys. The basic specs are simple: 1) enforce the one key per customer rule; 2) be robot-proof; 3) be reasonably difficult to circumvent even for humans. (This is for a web service we would like to implement; the goal is to be able to control the load on our servers. Therefore, if the package includes an automated log-analysis component, all the better, but this is not necessary.) Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! ~K -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
