:mod:`repoze.who` -- WSGI Authentication Middleware
***************************************************
:Author: Chris McDonough / Tres Seaver
:Version: |version|
.. module:: repoze.who
:synopsis: WSGI authentication middleware
.. topic:: Overview
:mod:`repoze.who` is an identification and authentication framework
for arbitrary WSGI applications. It can be used as WSGI middleware,
or as an API from within a WSGI application.
:mod:`repoze.who` is inspired by Zope 2's Pluggable Authentication
Service (PAS) (but :mod:`repoze.who` is not dependent on Zope in any
way; it is useful for any WSGI application). It provides no
facility for authorization (ensuring whether a user can or cannot
perform the operation implied by the request). This is considered
to be the domain of the WSGI application.
It attempts to reuse implementations from ``paste.auth`` for some
of its functionality.
