Cork - Authentication for the Bottle web framework

Links

Cork provides a simple set of methods to implement Authentication and Authorization in web applications based on Bottle and Flask.

It is designed to stay out of the way and let you focus on what your application should do.

Cork is under development - contributions are welcome.
