I'm pretty sure that a largeish number of people on the pylons list have expressed some dissatisfaction with AuthKit as a solution. I've seen this on the mailing list, and the IRC channel, and I've personally had a couple of people I respect in the Python and Pylons community suggest that we not use AuthKit.
Even with all that, I suggested that we try to make it work, and after a couple of people did that, we ended up deciding that while we could make it work, it would require a lot of work to get it into the kind of shape we need it to be. We really want an Auth solution that could be embraced by the Pylons and TG communities, and could be accessable to the greater WSGI world, and I have my doubts that AuthKit will become that solution. There's already too much frustration and dissatisfaction, and very little activity on the development side to answer any of those issues. If however, we've been misinformed and AuthKit has a healthy and vibrant community which is willing to help us, and which is willing to take on some new developers who will fix things and turn it into a viable solution for us, I'm sure the TG dev community is wiling to re-open the issue, and I for one know I could be convinced to change my mind. But, I don't think it's likely unless the AuthKit project starts becoming more open, and more active. --Mark Ramm On Fri, Feb 22, 2008 at 10:10 AM, Devin Torres <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I can't believe we're having this discussion on this mailing list.
