> mod_python.publisher authentication
> -----------------------------------
>
>          Key: MODPYTHON-27
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-27
>      Project: mod_python
>         Type: New Feature
>   Components: publisher
>     Versions: 3.1.4
>     Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
>     Assignee: Graham Dumpleton
>     Priority: Minor

>
> The documentation for mod_python.publisher gives that more specific authentication
> check can be performed on a function by using code:
> def sensitive(req):
>    def __auth__(req, user, password):
>       if user == 'spam' and password == 'eggs':
>         # let them in
>         return 1
>       else:
>         # no access
>         return 0
>    # something involving sensitive information
>    return 'sensitive information`
> Ie., authentication function can be nested inside the actual function.
> This only works for functions and not methods of a class. Thus, code could be enhanced
> to allow it to work for MethodType as well as FunctionType. Method that needs to be
> changed is process_auth() and it simply needs to track through im_func to get to the
> func_code member.
