CLARIN/Python Paste Introduction

Python Paste is a (web) framework useful for building WSGi applications. Its most visible component is Deploy, containing a configuration file for building a web application out of basic components.

Within Paste, repoze.who can used to manage authentication (api). Different [docs.repoze.org/who/2.0/plugins.html plugins] are used to provide HTTP, form-based and other forms of authentication (the external friendlyform plugin can be useful as well).
