Nice effort, however... Decorators only take one argument; instead of: def decorator(func, *args, **keywords): you should just say: def decorator(func): Also, I'd think strongly about making this a class that has, as a default, a deny-all behavior. Users of the class would then override that method to define various access policies. Finally, in your sample usage, don't call your decorator 'auth'. When I saw '@auth' decorating your 'def GET', I initially thought you were calling the auth defined below. The example in the doc-string (using 'myauth') works much better. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web.py" group.
