PylonsTemplates: extra Paster templates for Pylons apps

PylonsTemplates gives you additional paster templates for Pylons applications. (Right now, there is one.)

Once the PylonsTemplates module is installed, you can create new Pylons projects like this:

paster create -t [templatename] [projectname]

pylons_repoze_what

Based on the default Pylons paster template, the pylons_repoze_what template implements a working authorization system based on repoze.what and repoze.what-quickstart. (Authentication by repoze.who is automatically set up as well.) The template generates:

Quick example of repoze.what-pylons usage

Once you have created your project using paster create -t pylons_repoze_what, you will probably want to start protecting controllers or actions. Read the repoze.what-pylons documentation, linked below, for the full scoop. But here's a quick example ot get you started.

from repoze.what.predicates import has_permission
from repoze.what.plugins.pylonshq import ActionProtector

class HelloWorldController(BaseController):
    @ActionProtector(has_permission('be_cool'))
    def index(self):
        return 'Hello World'
