Python Programming Language :: Basic Auth for simple web server


	Basic Auth for simple web server Hi, I'm a Python newbie; I have to write a simple webserver, and I need to implement a basic authentication as specified in the RFC2617. I wonder if there is a Python library for doing that.

For instance, to enable authentication for user foo, you can do the following from paste.auth.basic import AuthBasicHandler def only_for_foo(env, user, passwd): return user == 'foo' and passwd = 'bar' auth_app = AuthBasicHandler( myapp, 'app realm', only_for_foo) (where myapp is your WSGI application, of course).
