In the example below, only user "<tt class="samp">eggs</tt>" with password "<tt class="samp">spam</tt>"can access the <code>hello</code> function:
104
109
 
105
110
<P>
106
 
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
 
111
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
107
112
  __auth_realm__ = "Members only"
108
113
 
109
114
  def __auth__(req, user, passwd):
122
127
 
123
128
  def hello(req):
124
129
  return "hello"
125
 
</pre></dl>
 
130
</pre></div>
126
131
 
127
132
<P>
128
133
Here is the same functionality, but using an alternative technique:
129
134
 
130
135
<P>
131
 
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
 
136
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
132
137
  __auth_realm__ = "Members only"
133
138
  __auth__ = {"eggs":"spam", "joe":"eoj"}
134
139
  __access__ = ["eggs"]
135
140
 
136
141
  def hello(req):
137
142
  return "hello"
138
 
</pre></dl>
 
143
</pre></div>
139
144
 
140
145
<P>
141
146
Since functions cannot be assigned attributes, to protect a function,
143
148
the function, e.g.:
144
149
 
145
150
<P>
146
 
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
 
151
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
147
152
  def sensitive(req):
148
153
 
149
154
  def __auth__(req, user, password):
156
161
 
157
162
  # something involving sensitive information
158
163
  return 'sensitive information`
159
 
</pre></dl>
 
164
</pre></div>
160
165

Note that this technique will also work if <code>__auth__</code> or
