* Package name : pymacaroons Version : 0.9.2 Upstream Author : Evan Cordell <cordell.e...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/ecordell/pymacaroons * License : Expat Programming Lang: Python Description : Macaroon library for Python Macaroons, like cookies, are a form of bearer credential. Unlike opaque tokens, macaroons embed caveats that define specific authorization requirements for the target service, the service that issued the root macaroon and which is capable of verifying the integrity of macaroons it receives. Macaroons allow for delegation and attenuation of authorization. They are simple and fast to verify, and decouple authorization policy from the enforcement of that policy. We're moving towards using this library for various authorization tasks at work (Canonical). While most of these uses are in contexts where we'd tend to use Python packaging directly, there are some situations where it would be useful to have a Debian package too. This depends on #781984. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
