It's a question of using the simplest technology necessary to do the job, preferring something that's long established and very widely tested if it's adequate. And of course, "adequate" depends on the particular application. Some applications may require the features a Python authentication module can provide; for others it's overkill, and all the little quirks that come up just mean more things to debug. And of course, some sites may prefer to standardize on one authentication module for everything because it's required for one of their applications. But they should have the choice of using different existing modules according to the type of application, if they wish. -- -Mike (Iron) Orr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if mail problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://iron.cx/ English * Esperanto * Russkiy * Deutsch * Espan~ol _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
