A Generic Access List Library
Project description
Spiff Guard is a library implementing generic access lists for Python. It was designed to provide a clean API, high security and high scalability. Working with an ACL is as simple as this:
from Guard import * guard = DB(db_connection) group = ResourceGroup("My Group") user = Resource("My User") website = ResourceGroup("My Website") view = Action("View") write = Action("Edit") guard.register_type([Resource, ResourceGroup, Website]) guard.add_action([view, write]) guard.add_resource([user, group, website]) guard.grant(group, view, website) guard.grant(user, edit, website) if guard.has_permission(user, view, website): print 'Permission granted.'
Spiff Guard’s features include recursion, groups, Python type awareness, inverse lookup, and a lot more. For a more complete example, have a look into the README file included with the package. You may also look at the API documentation.
