Hello, everybody. Since I released repoze.what 1.0 Final two weeks ago, I've been asked several times how to integrate repoze.what into Pylons. My answer has been "copy the @require decorator from TG2 and if you want controller-wide authorization, insert X code into Controller.__before__".
For this reason, and because repoze.what *might* start been used more often in Pylons [1], I think I'll write a repoze.what plugin to bring *part* of the r.what integration into TG2 to Pylons applications. This plugin will provide the following: * The @require decorator, moved from TG2. Existing applications *won't* have to update their code because TG2 would import it into the "tg" namespace. * The upcoming accessible() function [2]. * Should it be accepted, the Access class proposed by Christoph [3]. * An optional class decorator to set up controller-wide authorization, as an alternative to TG2 controllers' "allow_only" attribute. Let me highlight beforehand that there's no backwards incompatible change here. However, it's worth noting that this would allow us remove repoze.what from the dependencies of the TG2 package, so that people who don't use repoze.what won't have to install it when they deploy their applications -- as long as the @require decorator won't be imported into "tg", which will break backwards compatibility (people would have to replace "from tg import require" with "from repoze.what.plugins.pylons import require"). I'm fine with either of the two options (keep repoze.what as a dependency even if people don't use it or not), so I'm +0 on this change -- I just wanted to mention this possibility. Cheers! PS: This *won't* retard B6, as first I'll just move @require to this plugin and then make TG2 import it -- an import which may get removed if you'd prefer so.
