[Zope-dev] New package: zope.authentication AND the problem.

[Martijn Faassen]

Hey Dan,

Thanks for your answer.

Go ahead and make zope.publisher depend on zope.authentication. Could 
you document a summary of this discussion within the Python code that 
implements these adapters? (or the ZCML if you think that's better)

As a general point, right now the whole idea to use alternate requests 
with most Zope Framework libraries is rather theoretical.

It may very well be that at some point in the future we develop the 
priority to make as many Zope Framework libraries work independently 
from zope.publisher as possible, or perhaps directly port it to use webob.

I think that will be the moment when the real head-scratching begins, 
and I'm not sure whether this move really helps prepare the way very 
much considering the scale of the effort involved. But do it anyway. :)

Regards,

Martijn
