AuthKit or one of the other WSGI toolkits is pretty much the only thing available at the moment. (AFAIK)
I've restarted my identity stuff, and I hope to have something vary basic along with some clear notes by the time of the sprint, so that I (and interested others) can get this going. I agree that identity-management is key to making life easier for the developer (which is kinda the point of TG, IMO). Here's what I would like to see in a new identity-like package: - be able to use it everywhere you could in TG1 - cover the traditional user/group/permission model of auth handling - support HTTP basic/digest auth - support form-based auth - support OpenID (less important to me personally, but I know others really want this feature) - support multiple methods of authentication info storage (DB, NTLM, .htaccess, LDAP, unix passwords, etc...) - support multiple methods of authorization info storage (DB, LDAP, etc...) - make very extensible, so users can severely customize it if they want (use setuptools!) - have sane, covers-90%-of-use-cases default configuration I think that covers it...good thing I'm not asking for much :) I'm really less concerned with making the API exactly like identity, though I have no specific complaints about that API.
