AuthKit isn't the user authentication stuff. It's one guy's attempt at user authentication stuff. Most of us Pylons people ignore it.

OK, that's good to know. However, that's my general experience with Pylons. The documentation would seem to recommend AuthKit. For example, see http://wiki.pylonshq.com/. The top link is AuthKit. Is there an alternative that you are using?

The wiki site was actually originally meant to provide space for many Python projects, not just Pylons, which is why ToscaWidgets is there, for instance.

Generally we roll our own authentication using the session object. It's just as good as AuthKit, and a whole lot simpler.
