Note that Apache is actually handling the HTTP Digest mechanism, the
only thing that is being delegated to Python code is the generation of
the hash for comparison of user details.
Because that Python code runs embedded in Apache worker process, you
should make it as absolutely minimal as possible if still running
Pylons using Paste behind mod_proxy.
In other words, don't just go importing all your Pylons/AuthKit
infrastructure as it will only serve to bloat our the Apache worker
process unnecessarily. Writing a custom bit of code which does only
what you need would be the best approach.
