That sounds about right. I've been developing a new authentication system for django since PyCon that allows for different or even multiple backends... the api has been pretty unstable so far, but it's getting close. I've written some docs, but I'm sure they could use some more work. Now that magic-removal has been merged I'm going to request a branch to finish it up. If you're interested in going that route and providing feedback, I'll speed up my efforts. I have a patch available you could use, but maintaining a patched version of django is a PITA to put it lightly. > Does it make more sense to base this project on the Floating Sargasso > branch, or to take one of those desperate measures? That would also work. It'd be better than mokeypatching IMO. If you aren't using the admin system you're probably best off just rolling your own authentication.
