using bouncer to check the whitelist

Using is simple!

Here's an example

>>> from bouncer import Bouncer
>>> b = Bouncer('commons/dev/whitelist')
>>> b.is_authorized('[e-mail]')
True
>>> b.is_authorized('[e-mail]')
False

This checks the AWS Secret Keeper called commons/dev/whitelist to see if the users [e-mail] and [e-mail] are in the whitelist.
