There is an important lesson here: a very important, if not the most important, factor for adaption of a tool such as AuthKit is the quality of its documentation and how easy it is for complete newcomers to start using it. I consider myself a reasonably experienced programmer and I found myself overwhelmed by the complexity of the AuthKit documentation and setup. If there was a single tutorial that said 'do A and B and voila! your app is now protected' AuthKit would probably be much more accepted. Instead there are two pages in the pylons book that try to cover all of AuthKit, which means they introduce so much complexity that my first response was 'my needs are very simple, I will look elsewhere'. After actually using AuthKit since there were no good alternatives at the time and I did not want to bother to write my own thing I still think that.

Wichert.
