:mod:`repoze.who` is an identification and authentication framework |
CM |
6 |
for arbitrary WSGI applications. It acts as WSGI middleware. |

:mod:`repoze.who` is inspired by Zope 2's Pluggable Authentication |
CM |
9 |
Service (PAS) (but :mod:`repoze.who` is not dependent on Zope in any |
|
10 |
way; it is useful for any WSGI application). It provides no facility |
|
11 |
for authorization (ensuring whether a user can or cannot perform the |
|
12 |
operation implied by the request). This is considered to be the |
|
13 |
domain of the WSGI application. |
