Hello, I'm trying to build an api for a web2py application and I'm stuck 
with authentication. Not that I haven't done it, but I don't know how to go 
about it.
Consider login for instance, if I want to return a status true indicating a 
successful login attempt, eg.

#api controller
#url/api/login/[email protected]&password=somepassword

def login():
    response.view = 'generic.json'
    ...
    return dict(status=true)

how do i verify the login details? especially the password.
I believe i can use the email to run a select query, if it gets any row it 
means the user exists, and then the password?
help please
