im working on a project that involves creating a back end solution to authenticate and manage user
accounts for a website. im new to python and am looking for some good references that can help me with this task. the requirements for the project are as follows: A new user can register with their email address and password of their choice. Upon registration, a confirmation email shall be sent which contains a link that needs to be clicked on within a fixed period of time in order to activate the account. Access to site resources shall be limited to users that have registered a valid user account. Also, the solution must automatically lock a given user account should an incorrect password be attempted repeatedly within a set timeframe. All necessary data is stored in a SQL Server database and Pyton Database API v2.0 is used to connect to the database. I need to develop a suitable schema and Python module to provide this functionality. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, JT -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
